D McQuire As far as I am aware, most of the large FTO's such as BAE, OATS & CABAIR, expect acceptable standards of appearance and behaviour. This usually includes wearing the uniform, provided by the FTO, (or the airlines' uniform, for those now rare sponsored students).
Despite smartcol's views, most FTO's & their instructors, are trying to ensure that students are as "Airline Ready" as possible, & not just in possession of an fATPL.
Surely this should include instilling sufficient SELF-discipline into students, by requiring them to turn up, on time, in uniform, clean & tidy, & shaved.
Will an airline expect any less?
