Interview Attire at a Regional?

I have always worn full suits and I have always got the job. One tip is to look at there website and wear what the pilots wear (if it's a suit) For example I applied to business jet job where the pilots, on the website page, wore company colors, grey suits and a red tie, so I wore the same. Got the job offer but could not keep the job do visas issues, had nothing to do with the suit.

Oh for sure for the interview, I'm saying after they're hired. MX control has by far had the best dress policy at any airline I've worked for - aka no dress policy.

Yes I meant interview as well...As far as what we wear while at work it is business casual. Although my friends at UPS said they have to wear a tie even while working.

FYI, chaps, by definition, are sans glute covers.

But now the important question, for chaps, do you go with black leather or a teal velour fabric?

My standard airline interview outfit tends to consist of Dockers, dress shirt, tie, and sport jacket. It looks dressy but not super dressy. And you can always ditch the sport jacket if you need to. There was one place I interviewed that specified business casual (polo shirt and slacks) so that is what I wore there - but in general companies leave it up to you.

I think some jean shorts, hawaiian shirt and flips flops would be acceptable.

Actually, I did wear my University of Hawaii Aloha shirt and slacks to interview with Hawaiian Airlines, but otherwise it was a suit and tie when I paid my way from HNL to IND to interview with Republic.
 
Thanks everyone for the feedback! I'm going to wear a suit. I've always worn suits to interviews and have to wear one to work now, but the times I've toured an SOC, everyone is dressed very casually. Then, I noticed on the Xjet website (http://www.expressjet.com/about/leadership-team/#holt) that all the "leadership team" was jacket and tie-less. That's why I started wondering. Plus, I haven't been to an interview in almost 9 years, so I wasn't sure if things had changes. A suit it is!
 
I have always interviewed in a suit. It is business casual where I work each and every day. My experience is most SOCs (except SWA) is business casual and then jeans on Fridays.

Suit and tie doesn't work at Google, but airlines aren't Google. ;)

Like the "My cousin Billy got a job at XYZ and wore a monkey suit!"

Well. Your name ain't billy, you're applying for ABC and your ass is fat in a monkey suit.
