It carries devious messages, such as "You already know what the wings look like - clever customer, give yourself a pat on the head, feel good about yourself and us" and "This airline will be cheaper but friendlier than the boring heritage carrier".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-22419752057886047602010-02-18T18:14:17.036+00:002010-02-18T18:14:17.036+00:00It seems the last post about the 737 with the flyi...It seems the last post about the 737 with the flying 101 was just in preparation for this one.<br /><br />As in: Is the 737 mentioned in the previous post a good sign of professionalism ;-)<br /><br />---<br /><br />At my company (non-aviation), my boss always points out how clearly you can distinguish the financial folks from the technical folks at noon, in the cafeteria.

We grumbled but everyone looked great and whether we knew what we were talking about or not, people listened. We were a force to be reckoned with. One day our CEO went to a conference and was chastised for looking so sharp. "Why don't you put on the golf shirt and relax like us" and so the company relazed the dress code. Since that day everything has gone downhill. <br /><br />Does it really matter what you wear as long as you know what you are doing? I would say ABSOLUTELY. <br /><br />If you work at home in your underwear and bunny slippers, it will show. When I work at home, I sometimes slip the tie on and can immediately feel the effect.<br /><br />I guess we are all just acotrs in life and wearing the costume is a requirement.....viennatechhttp://viennatech.ca/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-24520696885989616582010-02-18T16:18:52.355+00:002010-02-18T16:18:52.355+00:00I agree with Paul B that the things you say work f...I agree with Paul B that the things you say work for many professions. In healthcare we try to help our patients to resolve existing health problems and prevent future ones as well as possible. To succeed, we have to keep current our knowledge base and our skills. As far as appearance goes, our patients need to see us as credible advisors or they will have no confidence in our advice.<br />I am outside aviation except for my experiences as an airline passenger, but I read this blog because Aviatrix opens a window into a world that I find fascinating. As I follow the conversations in all their diversity however, I’m repeatedly impressed at how much we all share in terms of fundamentals.GeorgeGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03530258514311985409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-1922498312715495942010-02-18T09:56:12.900+00:002010-02-18T09:56:12.900+00:00I think what you say applies in so many other fiel...I think what you say applies in so many other fields too. I am a trainer and consultant in the computer networking field.<br /><br />As a Consultant, unless I already know the customer, and know they prefer a relaxed dress policy, I will meet them wearing a suit and tie (or smart trousers and a jacket).<br /><br />For training, I can be a bit less formal, but I'll always wear trousers (not jeans etc), a smart shirt (often a vendor branded one, but no tie) and shoes. I leave the jeans, tshirts and trainers for the students!<br /><br />Yes, it's not just what you are able to do that matters: the APPEARANCE that you you can do it also matters. And if you are goinbg to succeed, then you need to have both halves of the equation right.<br /><br />Word Verification: estyllou.
