It´s a simulator - it´s not an airplane - wearing a clown outfit won´t change that fact. It´s a training tool. You´re there for training and hopefully to learn something new or be reminded of something you forgot. Line checking is where you where your uniform, check the notams, call the weather man, ask for your tea and biscuits etc..

WHAT? In Cx I’ve never worn a Uniform to a Sim in my entire life. Sometimes I wear company pants but that’s it......The only time Cx Pilots are required to wear uniform is on a Command LOFT exercises.....and that’s only in the last 10 years.....

I don’t care what I’m wearing, I still know I’m in the Sim and if I’d need 4 stripes on my shoulder to fly a Jet then heaven help us.....

What a crock of s***
