As a female helicopter instructor, I sympathise with the questioner. After all, we're talking about an INTERVIEW, aren't we? Not what you'll wear for the job.
My first interview wasn't even that really. I was told, "I don't really need anyone, but drop in for a cup of tea if you like". A suit would have been over the top, I felt. I went in smart trousers and a jumper, and got the job.
However, the next time I had a similarly informal interview - except I knew someone was needed - I went in the same sort of gear. And the first question was would I mind wearing 'uniform', ie pilot's shirt and tie, if I worked there. Arggghhhh!!! I said it would be fine, but I wished I'd dressed more formally, so that I could prove that I could do formal.
So...I've been an instructor for five years, and I still don't know the answer to the question. I just hope I can stay put and not have to try for any other jobs.
