Pilots are cool in other countries!!!

I have flown with guys that looked like Jabba the Hutt and could make the plane sit up and beg, I have also flown with guys who looked like Steve Canyon who barely flew better than a brick. Appearance has no correlation to skill level, unless you are talking super model.

You're probably right about skill level, but appearance (in my opinion) does have a correlation to attitude, which is not entirely unimportant.

Hit a little close to home? Do you like that big north face logo on all your jackets? Why do they even put a logo on your back shoulder area?? To show even the people walking behind you that you're a deuche?

No most days I ignore you useless drivel, but every once and awhile I have to remind you who/what you are. Now run back to the office, Hulas has some goats that need rimming.

Ok, keep looking good, if it's important to you, good on ya. But if you need a freshly pressed shirt and pants to put the same effort on day 4 with massive flow/reflows, you might become a chocklity mess. I am a middle of the roader, I try to present myself well with what is provided, and the last leg gets the same attention to detail as the first, 104% plus.

Saw an overweight capt the other day wearing his hat. Shirt was 3 sizes too big even for him, and looked like it had been rolled into a ball and stuffed in a bag prior to being worn. Pants sagged well below his belly/gut. The belt buckle was fugly.. BUT... He wrote his hat.. it didn't help.

The op has a point. Personally I think hats are unnecessary. . Probably only bc I don't like wearing them, but you can look presentable wearing anything if you put a little effort into it. My pay sucks but I'm still proud enough of what I do to size my new shirts and iron them.

Hats in theory help the image of the pilot but the problem is that there's a disconnect in how vs why you wear a hat now at days. Also a lot of guys can't pull off wearing a hat because they endup looking like this :http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1yal-7MngR4/UvErlcGQKEI/AAAAAAAAGM0/L3diK0H_OaM/s1600/nork1.png

At that point you look less professional than you would not wearing one. This is why it should be optional.

Guess you found out that you can't lick your own nuts while wearing a hat huh?

I seriously doubt foreign companies have pilots who banter back and forth like school children!!!

Some days off, I like to start out the day with a Jack and Coke and torture the local trolls while becoming comfortably numb.....
That's why they prefer to hire Western pilot, we are just more fun....
