goat-tee in JetBlue?

[BLUE BAYOU]

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

 

[SoCentralRain]

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!!

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?

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???

 

[PCL_128]

Why is a backpack unprofessional?

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

 

[Jmoney]

Maybe

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

Maybe the GAY FAs love them! Nothing quite says "I'm gay as hell!" quite like growing a facial hair bullseye around one's mouth.......

Money Shot!

I saw a SWA FO with a skateboard strapped to his bag.

That was swa/fo, and it wasn't a backpack with a skateboard, he was moving his belongings and his trailer..........:laugh:

Sea Stories?

Ship Captains wore ponytails and errings..

Supposedly, the earring was to pay for a sailor's burial on land instead of at sea. The ponytail was to aid in pulling an overboard crewmember out of the water.

 

[Whiskerbizkit]

The whole " no facial hair " has nothing to do with looking professional, it had to do with O2 masks....guess what, times have changed just like the O2 masks.
Wasn't there threads about hats and looking professional? Now a lot of airlines are doing away with them. Leather jackets and looking professional? Most airlines have them too.

If that was the case, I wouldn't be able to stop licking my lips

ROFL! I just spewed my coffee!
