Uniform Nazi

[ATR-DRIVR]

[QUOTE

As for the uniforms, don't show up to work looking like a friggin' dump truck. Get rid of the a frosted-tip, mousse-tousled MTV fashion coiffe and Samuel L. Jackson mutton chops. Gone, too, are the faded dockers and RedWing Zipper/80 inch laceup Smoke Jumper boots. You might want to think twice about the Jimmy Buffet T-Shirt under the uniform shirt and the Jose Cuervo ID necklace. Finally, put your snuff or hard pack of Marlboro reds in your flight bag instead of your breast pocket, buy a hat and stick a darn name on you shirt.

You'll never hear a peep. I promise you.[/QUOTE]

Thank you.

Dewwwd, I had this totally bitchin' goatee goin' right? It was like sooo rad, all the babes thought I was way gnarly. I mean it looked so radical with my Gargoyles, and the chief pilot made me totally shave my soul patch dude. I mean, like what's up with that bro?

ROTFL

Dude, where's my career?

I have had the pleasure of dealing with him a couple of times. He is of the highest level of incompetence. I think that is why he is on his uniform crusade. I'm sorry for all the SLC people who have to deal with him. By the way, he looks like crap at all times. He is the wrong person to be leading this crusade.

If you don't know how to deal with tools like this, then perhaps you need to read Pack Vasaline.....

Those guys work for your airline too? I like the backpack look. Translation. I'm going to school. I'm a student..........pilot.

Where the CPS fail is delivery.... If they would motivate pilots to follow the rules instead of controling them..... aw never mind..... I gotta measure my sideburns...

He wasn't the former IAD chief at ACA was he?

I will say now that I'm flying more out of ATL, some ATL crews look pretty crappy compared DFW crews. Just saw an F/O without a jacket, his sweater in his hand, and grease all over the back of his unironed shirt. And this was inside the terminal, 2 days in a row. Yes we do have regs on our uniforms, and most people tend to ignore it. Why even have them in the first place? It's called professionalism. And yes there are certain pilots in ATL that probably don't even own a hat. Don't want to mess up the dew. Only the probationary pilots follow the uniform rules. How can someone had a CP if he is just following company procedures? Sounds like a personal problem.

You must have been in ATR world.

 

[IFLYASA]

Actually I was in RJ world.

Well, if you think that was bad, go over to the Bada Bing Lounge in ATR world sometime. (That's the concourse D crew lounge for you Dallas folks).

So just out of curiosity, if an ATL CP <GASP!> enforced uniform policy, would he be attacked for it on these boards?

Can you imagine? A Chief actually enforcing the rules....what a novel concept.

Hey - they are letting us out of the asylum and we're coming to fly with you.

I'll go to bat for the CP in question. He has a pretty good reputation for backing pilots over maintenance and scheduling issues. Besides, it is wintertime, the hat helps keep the noggin warm.

Yelling at crew members in the terminal for uniform infractions...

B.S. I've known this guy for six years and never heard him raise his voice to anybody.

He is of the highest level of incompetence.

More B.S. The DFW chief pilots are all pretty good guys, but the "Nazi" is the only one who consistently gets things done for pilots.

Ted, Gorditas, and Metrosheriff are right on the money: this guy's reputation was built by a handful of loudmouthed slobs. You have to comply with all the other S.P.'s...why should uniform policies be any different?

I can say this without reservation: there is no better guy to have in your corner if you're in a jam with the company.

(...just make sure your tie's straight. )

 

[Dude]

What's up with the ATR bashin'? Maybe we are a little rough around the edges, but we don't look like A&P/Night-Cargo guys.

The problem isn't with the CP, it's with the "I'm too coll for school" fellas. Here's one for ya, if you think your cool, you probably aren't.

I fail to see what the big deal is with complying to uniform standards....the airline job is laid out simply:
1. Fly company airplanes
2. Fly company profiles consistent with safety
3. Wear company uniform.

Who put the gun to your head to be an airline pilot? If the uniform is such a burden, perhaps you are not ready for a job that requires one....
