I'm just going to leave this riiiiiiight here...

[Roger Roger]

Yep.

They just had to add some guidance to ensure that people keep it "neat" but we've got more than a few pilots that are rocking the Captain Haddock beard. Technically it says inter island only, but that hasn't ever been enforced as far as I know.

Liked primarily for the Tintin reference.

I love my leather jacket but save the hats for the Captain Morgan "Captain" commercial. I do love that commercial, though....

You miss all the shots you don't take.

The things I look forward to most if I ever make it 121 is wearing the hat with a 70's porn stache! (And possibly some gloves like Capt Caneman. Smoooth mannn!!)

Where is Caneman?

 

[Autothrust Blue]

There are domestic carriers too.

That doesn’t mean you can’t say things like “I find this uniform to be an impractical, outmoded homage to a long-gone era and I wish I could wear pants appropriate to a January walk-around”, but it does mean that if the company says “no North Face jacket” you don’t wear a North Face jacket.

Do not put the Captain into a position in which he must choose between enforcing and ignoring uniform rules.

(Like wearing your frakkin' North Face.)

I’ve never met a group of people that care more about what their peers wear to work than pilots do. Y’all are seriously ridiculous.

It's easily the best part of my "airline". The only thing we care about is not caring about uniforms.

This. I’m a super laid back dood, but come on man. The boss man pays you do something a certain way, just suck it up and do it.

Flightsuits for everyone. Practical, protective, rational. @ATN_Pilot

Aside from keeping you hot in the summer and cold in the winter, I hear they can hold 12-12oz cans of ones favorite beverage. Also, the Velcro name badge can be inverted so one can easily recall one’s name after consuming said beverages.

If they looked more like the 50-mission crush and less like the bus driver...

Double like.

So jealous.

I got to deadhead on a Cathay A350 a while back. I got to stick my head up front to look around and the thing I was most jealous of was the fact that both dudes had beards. I guess we tried to slip it into the last FOM revision, but they found it :-(

I'm pretty sure you've likely had genitals dipped into your beverage of choice at work. Just saying.

There's a middle ground. Blatant disregard of uniform standards that makes you look really terrible might be something that a captain should bring up. Otherwise, don't be a toolbag.

 

[Boris Badenov]

Yeah wait, are you going to get in trouble for what your F/O is wearing? If the answer is "no", why do you care?

 

[milleR]

Can you imagine fielding that one as a crew scheduler?

“Wait, what? You need a reserve FO because your assigned crew isn’t wearing the appropriate uniform? Who is this again?”

 

[ArcherII]

You can't beat PanAms white caps. I would wear those even with my pijamas

That just knocked out Christmas shopping for my stepson. I LOVED those books at his age and had completely forgotten about them.

Man, what a horrible attitude. I can think of a whole hell of a lot of things that someone could do that won’t get me personally in trouble, but I’m certainly not going to overlook them if I’m the guy in a leadership position.

 

[Boris Badenov]

if I’m the guy in a leadership position.

I'm in charge of the airplane. I am not the Uniform Police, that's someone else's job. You're gonna lose your union card if you keep doing someone else's job for them!

I usually don’t say much, but how hard is it to wear the blazer (or whatever is required) over a fleece north face? I mean, Id love a jacket option like SWA or Alaska has but I do what I’m told. To me uniform stuff is just like the SOP....just do your job the way the Man pays you too. Easy peasy.

No, you operate the airplane. You lead the crew.
