Flying in sandals.. Opinion?

Are you guys really trying to win a business attire argument with someone who has Jeffrey Lebowski as their profile pic? That's like trying to tell Bob Ross that people would respect his paintings more if he wore a blazer.

A very fine point.
 
If there's one thing I've learned on JC, it's that @ATN_Pilot will do whatever it takes to convince everyone that he has 1) more money than you, and 2) is an authority on personal and professional style, science, religion, finance, automation management, nutrition, and whatever else he reads about on the internet.

Frankly, I'm getting a bit tired of the Todd Show™, but @Derg keeps you around, so...

It's a straw man argument from a new member... No wonder you love it. :)

Hey, man, there's a beverage here. I'm not meaning one way or another is right with the comment but rather you two probably have very different values/priorities and what works for one may not work for the other. I probably wouldn't wear flip flops to work but I will say that I hate ties though. They make me sweat when it's not even hot, get snagged on crap, and I can't think of any logical purpose they serve.
 
I think JC would be a much better with out ATN and seggy. As soon as either of them chime in on a thread I know all rational discussion has ended. But its not my sandbox, if I don't like it I can go play somewhere else

Sorry, didn't mean to get you in the crossfire there.

You're using my backpack as a way to save face on a thread about personal style. Nobody cares.

What really matters is who would you like to be cooped up with up front for a Pacific crossing and who would you rather spend your layover with. I vote backpack, flip flop wearing, meditating, surfer dude.

Thanks, though technically we wear assless chaps on those crossings... :D

And now, I must do something more important than argue on the Internet:

I wear a tie and strongly encourage wearing a tie in the Caribbean, flying frieght. The pollo, shorts, or combination thereof(which is approved) would still result in a strong "flipping out".

Flip-flops/dad sandals, Dad sandals belong in the garbage regardless. Flip flops are for the beach. Both would result in an instant red faced flip out if worn in front of me with the intent of operating any airplane under a company I'm management of. Represent your company like a professional! I don't give a flying hell if it's part 91(like that even matters). If you want to dress like a bum, go work for bum airlines, not for anywhere I'm working. Driving/boating/airplaning, get a damn shoe on! My humble opinion of course.

Based on driving, anything other than a proper shoe is severely inconsistent. Don't even tell me you can drive as well as wearing a proper shoe(an airplane is even worse). I'll, and most, will just assume you're an idiot arguing otherwise. You just are... Some shoes aren't proper for flying either for what it's worth.
