NATCA Going Down in Flames
The only thing that is ridiculous in that story is that people are not
free to dress as they wish. So much for the land of the free. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever read here -- and I've read a LOT of goofy stuff over the years. An employer not only has the right to impose a dress code on employees -- he has a DUTY to do so. In our college town, we've visited restaurants where you couldn't tell the employees from the customers. College girls wearing peasant shirts that showed their tatooed butts, no name badge, and no "we're here to serve you" attitude translated into a single-visit, never to return. In our hotel, our employee dress code is relatively liberal -- but it's strictly adhered to. Our employees are required to wear either our green "Alexis Park Inn & Suites" shirts, or a (supplied) aviation themed Hawaiian shirt with a collar. In summer, khaki shorts are allowed, but never cut-offs or blue jeans, and no t-shirts. A name badge must be worn at all times. Does it matter, since much of their work is on the phone? Hell, yes. When a guest comes onto our property, we want them to be able to tell the guards from the inmates, and we expect our employees to act professional at all times. If we expect this from hotel clerks, housekeepers, and waitresses, I don't think it's too much to ask from our "professional" air traffic controllers. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
