You really don't look professional in your leather jacket

[flyguppy]

Better than looking like a flasher in your trench.

JMO,

Fly

Oh, this could be a good thread!

"I will work for hundreds of thousands of dollars" (Old sticker from before 9/11)

All kinds of "Jesus" stickers. (Just what the public wants to see on their pilots bag.)

"Happiness is V1 in Lagos"

I don't wear the leather jacket because the damn thing costs nearly $400.

I wear the trench coat because its paid for, but before every trip, I have to do a cost/benefit analysis to determine whether or not its worth it to drag the trench around for a single ORD walk-around. I need at least two cold walkarounds for it to be worth it.

Other than that, I would wear shorts and a t-shirt to this JOB if I could.

oh, and while we are at it....No stinkin' hat.

:cartman: No Hats!!!!

 

[B-atch]

Trench coats are FUFILUFF!!

I think we can finish this thread up with one statement: Who gives a $h!t what joevollers thinks.

Done

First off--- yes this is flame.

But really ----especially if you wear a blue pants.... You do not look like a professional. You do not look like someone who is ready to command a respectable pay-scale at the bargaining table.

There have been many books written on how to dress for success, and I am pretty sure that you would be hard pressed to find the section: How to command respect from the world while wearing a leather bomber jacket with a flexi-fit bottom.

I, for one, feel that how we present ourselves impacts what type of results we get at the negotiating table..... I know, I know, here comes the part where someone points out that SWA guys make a bunch of money (for a post 9\11 world). Well, they also have never had any set backs financially, and I would attribute this more to their management than to their Leather Jackets.

Yes, I did in fact start this thread to flame bait you......But I also think you look silly.:uzi:

Two words - "Passionate Apathy"

Ouch. I wonder what you think of a person that wears a leather bomber jacket, flys at the aquiring airline, and has no college degree.

AAAHHH, so the leather jacket is the reason for the downfall of the airline pilot career. Now we know where the blame goes. Excellent.

I blame the animals from which the leather was made.

I blame Noah and his Arc......

 

[FNG_that's me]

Why don't the cargo guys wear flightsuits, or golf shirts and khakis? Much more comfortable.

It is Ockham not Occam.......

Try this: Dress for your airline job interview in a leather jacket...

Rut row!

Its 4:00 a.m. on a west coast layover.

....since Friday's USA today crossword puzzle is complete and I haven't figured out a practical way to achieve fusion and solve the worlds energy problems, I have nothing to do except sit here on my throne of contemplation and browse flightinfo.com where I find this gem of a thread, 5 WHOLE PAGES. Must be something profound!

I felt compelled to read every post....errr....ok..I lied. I went to the end of what is quite possibly the most lame thread ever, and against my better judgement, knowing that this is two minutes of my life that I will never get back, decided to post a reply.

As the handle jiggles, the water gurgles, the last cries of a dying crew meal, and as the sound of flatulance echoes and fades from the walls of my ceramic palace, I say to Joe"Does this dress make me fat?"Vollers ...

....who cares?

Thanks Joe, I'll think of you often

Watch "Joe" start complaining about pilots with mustaches or ones who wear clip-on ties............
