Keeping aside any snide remarks about blood shot eyes or anything, is there a general dress code including such things as shaving and combing ones hair etc.
Was the first time I was seeing such an unkept flight crew that it was surprising.
Forget the dress code for a second..
To me its more about the respect I give to my profession, the machine and inturn to ME.
Even when I am off duty I tend to wear clothes that would give an good impression to people when I am being introduced as an pilot flying for an airline. Expecially in india where flying is still highly respected and admired and as a Pilot I represent not just ME, but my Airline and infact whole of my industry !
I completely agree with you. I have noticed some people turning up shabily dressed. All I can say is it only hurts and to change it we need to go the person's grass roots and fundamentals which I feel is virtually impossible.
