goat-tee in JetBlue?

[Rez O. Lewshun]

I think Goatees are pretty cool. It is ok to be an individual.

In a professional community? Yeah... ok... :erm:

Where does one draw the line? And who decides where to draw the line?

 

[Pinkslip]

With their FA Blue Shirts, I can never tell whos who? I just call them all Flight Attendants.

Now go get me something to drink!

Lawyers, doctors, etc..... seen them all have goatees. Even seen a judge have one.

Image is all it is and a goatee is mainstream with society.

I wouldn't get one but that doesn't mean others shuldn't.

>>>>>I think Goatees are pretty cool. It is ok to be an individual.<<<<

It's funny when people think they're an 'individual when doing stuff like this because there are so many of them doing it, it's lost it's individuality.

It's like girls getting butterfly tattoes on their lower back or all the football players tattoing barbed wire around their arms or all the yuppies getting Harleys. Just following a trend or fad and wanting to be part of the mainstream pack actually ......not being "individuals". Being an individual would be NOT doing the latest fad.

it will be cool to see your over 60 pilot looking like dennis hopper or vincent price.

yo! this is the captain and this is my man mca he's gotta beard like a billy goat!

 

[regionaltard]

So JB's gay-friendly. So what?

 

[Jetjockey]

Why is a backpack unprofessional?

Are we doctors? Lawyers? I've never been to court... you?

A goatee is a fad. Long hair and ponytails were too in the 1700's. Ship Captains wore ponytails and errings..

Don't confuse falvor of the month with the right to be an individual within the confines of a choosen profession.

I wouldn't get one but that doesn't mean others shuldn't.

cause it would hurt thier self esteem if they conformed to the image of a profession? Not the Doctor profession. Not the Lawyer profession. Not the Judge profession.

What we are talking about here is the Air Line Pilot Profession.

Why is a backpack unprofessional?

Cause it looks like you are going to school. If you are going to school then you are a student and not a certified professional of your craft. This of course is all in the eyes of the traveling public. We all know you are a professional when you wear your backpack... but it is about the perception....image is everything... even though it seems to be a chore these days...

Besides... I don't wear my luggage... I pull or carry it.

 

[CA1900]

It's like girls getting butterfly tattoes on their lower back....

Thank goodness for Turlington's Lower Back Tattoo Remover.

Our goatee pilots are cool maaaan. I've heard the male flight attendants here absolutely love them!!!!

I'd say it's more professional to spell the word "earring," "chosen," and "because" correctly.

It's sloppy, man. Details. Sorry, Res.

 

[SELFloadingCRGO]

Unless I'm behind the times, and I usually am, aren't European pilots allowed to have facial hair? If so, are they all considered unprofessional for having beards or goatees? Are we really that worried about facial hair to think it's unprofessional? Wow...

No problem... I post so much!!

 

[Occam's Razor]

Not at all! My secret fantasy is look, dress, and smell like a European pilot.

Tres chic!

While we're gittin' our Old World on, maybe we should make French the official language of Air Traffic Control, and encourage our women to grow their 'pit hair long-and-loose!

I'm getting wood just THINKING about it!

Metric altimeters rock!

I gotta give Congressman Mica a call and demand that we change more than Age 60...so we can be just like the French!

Are we really that worried about facial hair to think it's unprofessional?

"We"?

No.

instructordude thinks it's a good idea...

Goatees are the coolest. Wait a second, it IS still 1998, right?

and mustaches are really 2008? come on get over it, not all goatees are as grunge as shaggy from scooby doo..

just because some of the pilots out there aren't old enough to grow facial hair doesn't mean you should knock those who prefer it

 

[Mach 80]

Apparently though, you must have a mustache in order to be an executive officer in ALPA.

 

[Spectre]

I once flew with a shemale Northwest Captain who had boobs and facial hair!!! Northwest ALPA didn't have a problem with that either. Does he, I mean, she still fly DC-9s out of Detroit???

They aren't...........if you're a professional student.
