CFI Uniforms

Airline Style (Stripes & Hats)

Okay, at FlightSafety in Vero Beach we wore shirts with epaulets and ties...but hats? Who makes their instructors wear hats?

(How about beanies with propellers on top?)

 

[Whirlwind]

Polo shirts with company logo on them and kaki pants or shorts.

Sneakers for shoes, CFI's work too many hours to have to wear anything but sneakers.

Jeans are not allowed.

Most of the instructors where I teach wear jeans and t-shirts. In the summer time it was common to wear shorts. We had no dress code. When I started flying for my current airline our dress code was no shorts. When we fly the freighter most wear carharts. We just recently started wearing the airline uniform when flying the passenger planes.

At the school I was at it was dress pants, shirt and tie. In the summer months you were allowed to wear polo shirts with company logo on them but still had to wear pants. The summers were hot!

We had our choice of company polo and khakis or dress shirt, tie and slacks. I found either Doc Martens or Sketchers to be very comfortable. Doc's were a bit expensive, but last a long time. Sketcher's looked just as good and could be found on clearance racks. Personally I liked the choice, especially when I forgot to do the laundry.

imagine putting that 172 down in a field for whatever emergency and having to trek across 2 or 3 miles of terra firma to get to farmer joes house wearing business shoes and clothes.

On a slightly related subject, I always pondered what it would be like if I showed up to my PPL (or for that matter, any other) checkride all death-metalled out... including the torn and studded leather, white make-up, some insane hairstyle, etc.... but still amaze the DE with my impeccable skills and knowledge.

Heh heh...

Who thinks I should?

Go for it.. You may not even see the airplane cause he would probably fail you on the oral..

Here's what I REALLY hate (those of you who know me hear that quite often ):
Airline style uniforms, be it student or Instructor, and they have either a goatee or that stinkin' hair stripe under the lip!!!!!!!
ARRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!
If you want to be it, then LOOK IT! Daggon, what the heck?!!! How many pilots do you see with goatees or hair stripes in the airport?!!!
Grow up kids! "I go to XXX flight academy and I want to be an airline pilot....and I want to do it fast...but I don't want to grow the heck up and look like a professional. That Terry picks on me. He's mean."
Well, Boo Frickety Hoo! You want a professional's position....be a professional. Look like one. Act like one (at least when you are on display). So break out the shaver. If the fashion-boy stuff is too precious for you to sacrafice, then go hang out on the set of 90210. Leave the flying to those who can handle the part. Roger Willcox, over and under.....

Proffessionalism

Don't forget we owe it to our students to maintain our proffessionalism. Would you like interviewing with interviewers in shorts and tee-shirts, or suits?


Dress shirt with tie, stripes, dark pants.

Weekends and summer dress, polo's and khakis.

I enjoy wearing the uniform at my school. Black Dockers, black shoes, white oxford with school logo on it.

At such a small school, walking around in my uniform reminds me to be proud of my accomplishments.

As for the students we frown on shorts and do not allow the students t wear sandals of any sort. It is a nice climate hear and at no point during the year is it unbearable to wear pants.
