I's suggest renting the movie "Animal House". Plan to wear what ever Niedermeyer wore anytime he conducted fraternity affairs, or anything else you might feel comfortable being paddled in. Just remember, Niedermeyer was "killed in Vietnam by his own troops."

This is what their email said:
ATTIRE: The JetBlue Pilot Career Fairs are casual events, so please wear commuter-friendly, business casual attire or your uniform.

since they use the word please - I think I'll comply and not dress up too much. I honestly don't know if it would help or hurt to put on a tie or jacket. In other lines of work I've always found it a benefit to dress to impress regardless of the dress code specified, but I'm unsure about this. Does anyone else have any thoughts?

Sincerely yours,

Smart, Hard working Pilot... Kept out by the "The Good Old Boys"...

Feeling excluded from the "good ol boys" is a self imposed, usually from someone that was denied. This "tag" is self created and whether someone agrees or not, it is a reality that exists in ALL aspects especially in the corporate world of flying. I find it pretty hard pressed for many to have an opportunity for an interview at ANY carrier without recommendations. So my guess is that if you are qualified, then a " SMART HARD WORKING PERSON" would know enough to market themselves year round solidifying their character along with their qualifications, and not wait for the opportunity when it arises. For someone to expect their resume on paper in this competitive industry to land an interview is in denial.

I showed up in khakis and a collared shirt. Have fun.
