| LOL!! I am sure many passengers think pilots keep their hats and jackets on while flying, and keep 2 hands on the controls, at all times. |

| Agent Smith | You know, after looking at the picture of the student pilot in the captain outfit, it reminds me of a line from "Catch Me If You Can" "Why yes ma'am, I'd like to buy you a steak dinner." |

| that's a pic from regional airline academy. i've been there and they don't actually wear hats. in fact only instructors wear uniforms. the website is definatly goofy though. if you really want to laugh your ass off check out tab express. their students are decked out in full gear. including the hat!! in fact, if their caught not wearing the hat while outside the building, they are charged a $10 fine. this includes walking to and from their car, smoking, talking,etc. i can't help but laugh when i see an "airline pilot" preflight a cessna. |

| Agent Smith | ![]() "Who's da man?" Peeking thru the website, one of my pals "Bob Beziat" is a CFI there. I was his FO lots on the 737. Bob is one of coolest guys on earth to fly with. But this page , what a load of tripe. What's a "737 Express" and when did ASA get a new contract? ![]() |

| I guess that's TAB Express and it's way to gain flight students, the flashy Airline Pilot Uniforms. I won't lie, I looked at the website a few times and it would be neat to LEARN how to fly and obtain all the necessary ratings in a Airline Pilot Uniform but that still doesn't land you that JOB. |

| Agent Smith | I think if I ran a flight school, I'd just do the business casual thing. I work for the worlds third largest airline and we don't even wear uniforms during simulator, ground or (if required) flight training. Heck, yesterday I work an untucked black shirt, khaki pants with no belt and my doc martens. I probably looked more like a 31 year old "mall goth" wanna be than an airline pilot. But uber-comfy, fully acceptable and consistent with my 'comfort = performance = efficiency' theory. |

| I agree with you Doug, I would go the casual route as well if I owned a Flight school. It appears to me that most of the PFT Flight schools are attracting students by what they wear during the training and also the GUARANTEED job interview ads. Even DCA former Comair now has it's students wearing the blue uniforms with the epaulets and the Instructors in the traditional White Pilot uniforms. I almost went to Comair but want to get my college degree behind me while obtaining my ratings and building my hours. Price is outrageous at those PFT schools. By the way, Jetcareers website is great. All the Pilots I know always talk about it and of course me bragging about the site always helps. Great Job Doug. |

| Old Skool | The students should be able to wear whatever they want since they're paying the mega-bucks. The only time I dress up beyond a polo shirt and blue jeans to go flying is when I'm on a checkride. |
