When they're paying £300 per hour they should expect their driver to be wearing a crisply starched brilliant-white shirt and polished boots, at the very least. In a 747 it looks appropriate and hopefully gives the impression that I'm competent and capable. Not so sure it looks the same in a C150.
PS 10,000 hours on jets
Granted, the job requires it.
No issues.
As a paying customer I'd expect you to dress the part.
Little Hollywood action.
If I'd get offered a ride in a small airplane and the pilot shows up dressed like an airline captain I'd seriously doubt their sanity.
And decline...
