EK Dress Code
Gents
Whilst I don't agree with wearing a jacket in 45 degrees heat, I must however put the following forward before we're in more trouble.
As you know, if a pilot crosses the boundaries here in EK we all get the cane! Have you perhaps noticed the message boards at EGHQ and the medical center referring to the dress code whilst visiting these venues. I happened to notice a colleague of ours walking around EGHQ in a vest, short pants and flip flops, all he needed was his surf board and a blond. When confronted he was rather defensive, quite acceptable, but was adament that because it was his day off he could do what he wants - sure but then stay away from work when dressed like a surfer dude.
They're giving us the rope and we're going to hang ourselves. I do know that when someone from the upper floor sees this happening, they crap on Ed who in turn will crap on us.
Lets just be responsible so that there is no come back to the pilot workforce regarding dress code and we can still go in dressed in a reasonable manner.
