Really stupid jumpseat question for Delta, United, or SWA guys.

Never had a problem wearing a conservative (not too loud) aloha shirt.
Wear slacks and decent shoes and you'll be golden.

Okay, this will sound like a bit of a joke but this is a serious jumpseat question for Delta, United, or SWA guys. Hawaiian, Aloha (RIP), and Island Air all allow "Aloha" wear in place of mainland-style business casual while jumpseating / nonrevving (including offline folks who do it nicely e.g. not cheap ABC store shirts). In Hawaii it is considered formal almost on a par with suit and tie, so actually much more respectable than simple business casual wear. You see lawyers etc wearing Reyn Spooner shirts and slacks to trial, etc.

If a HAL, WP, etc pilot were to try to get a jumpseat on the mainland, say Delta or United between 2 mainland cities (ORD, SEA, ATL, JFK, etc) and was wearing said formal Aloha wear, would they face the possibility of being denied due to policy or an agent thinking they looked too "resort"-ey? Just curious.

If it needs asking then why bother? Is it that hard to throw on a polo shirt?
