I think everyone should stop using the "Frosted tip, IPOD listening, and backpack wearing" FO adjective everytime someone doesn't agree with someone else on this forum. It is being way overused, and as with everything else on this board, it has been blown way out of proportion. We've done a good job at controlling the "Lowering the Bar" references, I propose the same effort at contolling this one. Thanks for your time, have great day.

Is someone getting their feelings hurt?
 
It hurts to be gelled
 
Ya...but the other MP3 players are just lowering the bar. Its sad.

What about all those cool leather jackets. At first the leather jacket was neat, but it is just another sign of the bar falling. It used to be only at "greyhound", I mean Southwest. Now AA and UAL are wearing them. Do you guys want to be pilots or bikers?

When flying airliners, dress like a pilot. When riding your harley, dress like a biker.


(management meeting...."we could let these guys wear dockers and a pullover shirt, and cut their pay another 30%, and they will think we are cool).

Its all those wannabe military pilots lowering the bar of compensation & professionalism with their leather jackets, yeah thats it :rolleyes:

I guaran-dam-tee you oxfords & slacks are what those Falcon & Gulfstream drivers on the corporate board wear when they fly...and they probably make more than anybody short of a 12 year FDX captain.
 
Nope, sorry, I don't fit the description. I just don't think this is the answer to the industry's problems.

Niether is lowering the bar! Until these children stop flying for free the industry is screwed. Now the next time I have an FO with frosted tips and an IPOD I'm going to come on to him. Maybe that will scare em straight!

Geez, I believe I'd a kept that to myself!
 
Imagine in 10 years when they're still in the right seat of a clapped-out CRJ900 with a frosted comb-over, their i-pod is blaring out Lawrence Welk and they carry their colostomy bag in their back pack.

That sounds delicious

I'm surprised at the level of sexual desire from a simple caveman... just kidding! Those are my favorite commercials....anyways...until we can get over 50% of the captains at my company to do a simple acceptance checklist, I think I can look past the spikey/frosty/whatever hair. Just don't whine when you have to put the O2 mask on above FL250.
