When you idiots get a real job and have to fly transcons all the time you will appreciate being able to take off a tie. Now go back and fly your Barons.

Why would you want to spend money to convert a regular tie (Is it even possible??) when you can just buy a clip on for 10 bucks??

Hopefully its because his company makes them wear a unique tie design (ie United) other than black

Seriously, when you get a real job call me. I can teach you how to tie a real tie. For a fee I'll even teach you how to take it off again.


Then I'll let you rent my Baron. Oh I forgot, that was several planes ago.

Dude, you can't be serious about the clip on can you?


wow.

Then I'll go over and teach him why it's a bad idea to tie a friggin rope around his neck in an airplane.........

It's more than just a comfort thing, btw.......

I'll even take the clip on tie a step further a safety point of view, having a minor in PAD, (Police Admin), you will never see an officer on duty with a tie on. The reason is not because he/she is lazy.

Now I will be the first to admit that I am lazy, but I will not be the one having the self made noose ready to be pulled tight.

I've worn a clip-on uniform tie my whole airline career - wouldn't be caught dead out of uniform with one on, though. The nanosecond the cockpit door closes that bad boy gets taken off. If you loosen up a regular tie on every leg, then they get pilly and worn out in a matter of weeks. I'll second Smoking Man's advice about having a noose around your neck in the event of a throw down, as well.

If you buy a cheap clip-on, you can carefully take it apart and see how it goes together. Take your regular tie (I'd suggest a long one, as this method eats up a lot of length) and wrap it around the little plastic thingee that has the clip on it. It might take a couple of tries to get the ends the right length. Sew the sides together and presto, clip-on tie.

I've never even owned a regular tie for work. I feel much more comfortable around irate Eagle passengers with a clip on. I don't see what the big deal is. Clip ons look nice and you can barely tell the difference anyway.

Does anyone know where I can get my lace-up shoes converted to velcro?
