If that is NWA policy then he did the right thing. Your friend should have grabbed his razor and ducked into the lav and shaved. Captains have enough going on without having jumpseaters put them in a position where they can get in trouble for a violation of the companies FOM. When you show up asking for something you should error on the side of being conservative. Your dress and personal appearance should leave nothing to be questioned. Makes it easy and simple for everyone. Showing up any other way shows a lack of maturity.

I plan on using FedEx quite a bit more as they are the easiest way for me to get from the paradise that is the West Coast to the Sewer. I plan on being in uniform as I will be reporting for work. I'll get the opinion from the crews I ride with. FedEx is awesome. You guys treat offline guys great. The ride (and subsequent rides) were much appreciated and I look forward to using you guys again. You're always welcome on XJT...anytime!

So yes I did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for, I also read the article on APC but it was a little... misleading?
So the article says "business casual when upfront"... or am I just wrong I was under the impression that it was BC anytime jumpseating.
But what my real question is, when JSing is it expected to be clean shaven, even if you are sure you will be sitting in the cabin? For instance hopefully I'll be in Thailand for about a week... do I need to take my razor with me for the flight back? Or is some growth okay?
I know this is stupid, but it's the things I think about.

Go luck jumpseating out of thailand also man... I would buy several ZED fare's on many airlines... the only 2 us airlines out of there are UAL and NWA and they are full alot.. both airlines have many online and offline people trying to NON-REV out of BKK and you will be last on the list... and if you dont catch the capt before he gets on the plane they wont let you on to ask him/her.
Just some adivse I have been there many times, and it can get rough leaving BKK.
