Look The Part, Or Go Away

I kid you not people!

Here I sit in Signature, BWI. Im fixing my coffee when the Captain from FLexJet comes into the FBO, asks for Mr and Mrs So-in-So... He doesnt even say good morning or F.U. for that matter. He says, "I need to see both your indentifications. WTH.. over!

He's wearing a baseball cap (I think it said FlexJet on it), and his sunglasses (no jacket). He looked like a freight pilot with DHL. Is it any wonder your company is floundering around with crews looking and acting like this?

Fractional Pilots who look like big fat pigs with dirty shirts and ball caps on deserve to be looked down on (and need to try Part 121 flying where you dont have to see the passengers). Have some respect for this business if you cannot muster any for yourself.

LOL. Even better one. I saw the CNBC interview in which Becky Quick was interviewing Warren on the G-V on their way to China last week. In the background was the biggest gut I have ever witnessed on a pilot in my life. I think he needed 2 belts to hold that sucker up. Talk about slob.....

Couldn't agree more...

A better question is how does a guy with a gut like that pass a 1st Class Flight Physical???

I agree with your entire post, except for this:

Last I checked, we're far from floundering. Also, FWIW, I've seen unprofessional looking pilots at all the frax. I love the FLOPS guys with beards. They look like tugboat captains.

It could only be one of two people. We ask the F/A's to just keep feeding them cheeseburgers.....
