[ QUOTE ] The students should be able to wear whatever they want since they're paying the mega-bucks. [/ QUOTE ] But, don't you know????? Playing dress-up during training makes you a better pilot and more marketable to the airlines because you already know how to..... dress.    Sorry, couldn't resist.

It was not that long ago I was visiting some friends who were in temporary offices in the same building as one of the **big flight schools* I still am laughing at the sight of all the students playing dress up, They tried hard, but most looked like they ironed their shirt with a rock. Besides an 18 -25 year old in a uniform , who may not even crossed the 10 hour mark (much less solo)...while trying to remember what GUMPS stands for.... well it doesn;t make you a better pilot, but it sure does add some hilarity. |

Yet another reason why I believe that part 61 training is the way to go. Wear what you want and learn to fly without all the marketing promotions and hoopla. |

[ QUOTE ] Wear what you want and learn to fly without all the marketing promotions and hoopla. [/ QUOTE ] So true. I wasn't promised a thing and haven't been disappointed yet. I feel for the guys and girls who bought into some of the hype - spent the big bucks on a big name - rushed through the ratings - and are now working in retail or some other non-aviation job and not flying one bit... nor getting any bites on resumes. |

I once heard some advice that I now pass on as much as I can. "If you can't walkin, off the street, and fly with what you've got on you probably don't need to fly there." |

[/ QUOTE ] I agree with you ready2fly...I have a really good friend who was drawn into all of that, and now he doesn't fly because he can't find a flight school that has the right "professional attitude" for him. What kind of BS is that? In his opinion, he's too good for all these silly, "anybody can walk in of the street" flight schools. |
