Maybe he just is having a bad day.

first impressions are just that.....Frac's relay on them more so than any other section....remember that...no customer no jobs.: ) I agree, every company has them, and its up to us to make sure that you remind the other crew member not to get too complacent on looking/being professional. We have all worked hard on being where we are today, just to wear a ball cap and sunglasses inside of the FBO. Give respect and you shall receive respect.

Prejudice

Judging someone on their appearance is prejudice plain and simple. Isn't there enough of that without adding to it?

I once went to an interview and of the 10 pilot applicants, 9 were wearing suits, five of them were pressed. Six had clean or new shirts and ties, three had highly polished shoes of which two were military. But the winner that was the a$$hole who came in wearing faded cotton dockers that were not pressed, a bule shirt with a stain on it, no tie, no jacket and wearing boat shoes that had seen a few years of sun and salt. And, in front of the Dir. of HR., D.O., President of company, Chief pilot and Dir. of Training he says "what, is this a blue suit convention?" He was later seen filing for unemployment.........

If everyone would just take the time to read the monthly newsletter, they would see that the particular day in question was actually "jeans day" and said crewmember is overdressed.

Not at all. It's best to judge based upon superficial outward traits.

just read my signature!

If you won't respect the interviewer enough to dress appropriately for an interview for a professional job, what does that say about you? If you won't put on a suit for an interview for a position that will have you dressing in a shirt and tie on the line, I can completely understand them saying "no thanks".

Yeah poor wolfpack...I bet his hotel didn't have an iron and the TSA confiscated his shoe polish...

Oh wait you mean maybe the flex guy had a bad day?

Doh!

Carry on

Guitar Guy I was responding to the comments about the fat or bearded or slovenly frac pilot. At flops we often only get 10 hours "rest" which includes having dinner, getting to the hotel, having breakfast and then getting back to the FBO. After that I may not be as pretty as I could be. I should have made that clear. Of course it's only good sense to show up for an interview with you best foot forward.

Same at NJA, more in some fleets than others.
