I remember sinking down into the couch while he towered over me in his chair of domination.
Lots of guys were worried about the suit and shrink thing. Just be yourself, remove the piercings, and don't talk about over throwing the government.

Its an urban legend...but a good one. Don't rock the boat, just do it. Plus, the shrink thing is no big deal. If, in fact, we still do that.

The shrink told me I had a death wish because I was a skydiver. I laughed and told him his death wish was greater than mine because he was a hang gliderer and at least I had a reserve chute. He agreed with me. I still got the job. And I didn't wear a red tie or blue suit.

They actually joked about it during the calm down and welcome chat. Apparently there is a tailor in CHS that has a special room devoted to the blue suit w/red tie.
On my day there were almost all red ties. None of the non-red tie wearers were invited back, I'm not sayin', just sayin'.

It is not quite that way, but it will score a few points and it is a point system so get those points. You never know if you are going to need em.

We cannot talk about overthrowing the government. That would be against the TOS!

Hint, when in the building in ANY area, don't say anything negative about anyone or anything for any reason......Everybody is listening........
My advice, wear the red tie and remember the day fondly when you look back at how silly it seemed, but that you all did it. Ask DAL-S CA's about their interview day, almost to a fault they all had a red tie and blue suit......In fact they had to have a black leather briefcase too, and those that didn't have one usually didn't get the job....So realize you have it easier than they did.

Have you actually seen this or been told by someone in the know?

The only guy to not make it on my interview day 1 was not wearing a red tie/blue suit.
I wore a gray suit/blue tie on the second day since that was medical/psych stuff.

I think that's exactly what it is, urban legend. I wore a yellow tie in my interviews and the first thing they said was "thank you for not wearing a red tie". They said that somehow the story got started that you needed to wear a red tie so everyone wears a red tie.
