question for all your ultra cool RJ capts

[CA1900]

I don't use hair gel.... I use "product"...

Sure... we know what you're really using....

 

[wmudriver]

I use what ever covers up my scalp the best. The hair-in-a-can thing works too. Sometimes I look like Ernie McCraken after I take off my headset. To go with my balding look, I'll grow a ferret under my nose to make up for the loss of hair on my head...or a distraction from people looking at my gleaming dome.

I've thought about using plugs, taking hair from my chest and putting them on my head; then I'll never need a hair cut b/c it'll always stay short (except for the random mutant hair) and I can get that curly look that I've always wanted.

 

[WMUSIGPI]

wow "Driver" has the Saab been that hard on ya or is it just residual effects from working at WMU?

 

[Jack Mehoff]

hey wmusigpi, did you work at wmu or go there if so what years?

 

[Winged Sig 599]

Have to respond to this thread.....

I got no problem with gel, mousse, hairspray, or *************************en shellac for that matter. However, I've really never understood the dudes that blowdry their hair. One of my best buddies does it, and I never could wrap my feeble mind around that one.
Oh, and the ERAU guys who were 'described ' previously on this thread are the guys me and my buddies would laugh at when were at Riddle. I don't really know why ERAU guys get so much sh!t......the guys I hung with at Riddle could A)drink you under the table B)knock your asses out C)get the girl at the end of the night. Granted there are alot of nerds there, but we didn't chill with those dudes.:beer:

Typically the people that are whining about the spikey hair are pi$$ed because their FO can fix that spikey hair in the reflection on their forehead. The same captain that is overly pi$$ed because he can't pay for hair club for men seeing as his major airline plan's are currently temporarily put on hold. It ironically makes him wish he got on at his regional perhaps when he still had hair to spike so he could someday see that 747 or 757 seat. Oh well, and yes I agree with the ERAU statement. There are a lot of nerds there, but I think people overly thrash it in my humble opinion.

Yes and Yes. 2001-2004 and 1996-2000 respectively. One of many currently here at XJ

 

[dollacrackho]

not associated with the spiky hair thing but another question for captains. its been pointed on here before, very astutely that when a captain says i'm really laid back it actually means the complete opposite. captain: i'm really laid back = when its your leg it's actually still my leg and i'm going to tell you how do everything short of how to breathe, but since we're on the topic you're breathing too loud also. so tell me is this really just code that you're a big co%ksucker and you're going to make my life a living hell for four days or are you really that clueless and in your sick twisted head you think you are laid back. another question next time you say you are laid back and i proceed to drop a big hot steamer in your pretty captain hat will you still be laid back? just a question.

 

[Jack Mehoff]

sigpi, did you know westcott?

 

[8HourPilot]

Hey Deto, #2 on the sides, spiked on the top.......can't wait to fly with an a$$ like you. Just beacuse you have to fly with a bunch of UNDies, doesnt mean we all are.

BTW, cut it every two weeks to keep it clean, and hide my grey.

 

[8HourPilot]

Sig knows westcott, well

 

[jetfueljunkey]

Siht...I barely have any hair left! If I could spike it I would...who gives a ratts Arse! I don't care if you have the comb over, Buckwheat afro, or no hair! ARe you fun to fly with and can you do your job? 33 years old with full on male pattern baldness going on here! I havent spiked my hair (flattop) since 2nd year in college! after that it was all downhill for my hair!!!! Fly fast.

I would just like everyone to know that I when I flew into Dulles today in my company's Encore, I WORE MY BACKPACK. It had my change of clothes in it so I could go play golf. That's right, I WORE MY BACKPACK. My boss (CEO of a chain of banks) thought NOTHING of it. After our typical chatting about business, college football, etc. he wished me luck and was off to his meeting. I chose the backpack because it's the smallest thing I have to carry something like that in, and was a perfect fit.

I certainly hope this pi$$es all you backpack nazis off.

 

[Vladimir Lenin]

ya miss the regionals, dontcha?

 

[CapnVegetto]

I miss my daily opportunities to piss regional pilots off.

Mesa will do that to a good person.

I think its fine for these young lads to spike the hair. Doesnt bother me one bit. In fact, they help pull in younger girls for a dirty old man like me.

I used to wear gel in my hair and have it semi-spiked. It looked good for all occasions and also looked quite formal when slightly toned down and coupled with a suit. I also wore it that way for my interview.

I just recently switched to a more traditional no gel style, mainly because I believe it is pointless to use while having to wear a hat all day. I can see both sides of the argument here, and I believe there is nothing wrong with wearing your uniform with style.

I am also an ERAU grad and hope that is not how you view all of us. It's true there are some third generation pilot "Riddle Hot Shots" that seem to give every grad from my school a bad name. I just hope that people realize we aren't all like that.

Gotta agree with Zawillif. I am also an ERAU grad and those pilots out there that give us a bad name due to their "better than thou" attitude dont even come close to representing what kind of people that school puts into the industry.

I prefer receding, with an ever expanding sunroof feature, but thats just me.

 

[USC328]

I prefer the term follically challenged. I'm not balding at age 24

Good luck to everyone. I'm for whatever works! A good clean, not quite military cut, pressed uniform with expensive but understated, polished shoes and watch (not a rolex) and a late model Buick Century for an airport car pulls them in at all ages. These young guys will figure it out down the road.
