Just wondering about different airlines' dress code while you are in training.

The airline training dress code is more lax than the places wearing airline pilot uniforms for training in light aircraft in the summertime heat.
Polo shirt and khakis will do.
Some places have casual Fridays too.
Next Friday... is Hawaiian shirt day. So, you know, if you want to, go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt...and jeans.

Business casual at most places. Nice shirt and pants and no athletic shoes.

Thanks.
What do you think about a group of new hire FO in training with Polo shirts, dennim /jeans and tennis/recreation shoes? How does that reflect on your airlines?
just go with my Sears virtual model and you'll be fine.

I'd love to be able to wear sneakers for stuff like that because they are way more comfortable. That's not the dress code except on Friday unfortunately.
I had to go out and buy "business casual" clothes between being hired and the start of training.
Business casual doesn't make you smarter! Huh! This is preposterous! I know plenty of guys who can do long division in speedoes and flip flops and a LOT of guys wearing Haggar "comfort stretch" slacks and RL button downs that get lost in their own homes!!!
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. A little comedic jab at the "college degree" argument!

I don't care what anyone wears in class. The real "reflection" is what happens in the box. If you know your stuff and can smoke a sim session, I think that should entitle you to wear anything short of cross-dressing. Nah that could be fun too. After 3 1/2 hours of the same crap, anything to liven it up.:cwm27:

I agree...as long as they don't look like Carl in my avatar! You can wear shorts and a nice shirt and still look professional (although for flying, lose the shorts and get some pants and polished shoes). And since we're discussing attire, I was in ORH one day a couple of weeks ago and saw this pilot walk in, wearing khaki pants, untucked khaki shirt, tennis shoes and his hair looks like he just got out of bed. I think to myself, "must be in that Cirrus or something...some rich guy who can't dress". Then awhile later his pax show up and they get on a PC-12! Pax were dressed in suits and this guy is wearing this? Talk about unprofessional. There is no way in hell that guy would be flying my airplane looking like that.

Citation just landed this morning in Binghamton, pilot stepped out wearing.... a bathingsuit and flip flops! No passengers though...
But what if I hate wearing sneakers when I'm not running?
Strange pet peeve of mine. I'm a little weird.

To be a freight dawg, it's gotta be sneakers, sandals or combat boots. Gotta choose!
I've never liked sandals, so that wasn't an option for me. My combat boots, on the other hand, are my most comfortable shoes. Easy choice!
