Qantas Club Dress Standards...Stubbies, singlet and thongs....What the???

[Quickstatus]

Do as you please in F!

Frankly I'm more shocked to see the gap between the seats in F is so narrow that one can place his feet on the seat in front.

Only because he still has his seat in forward-facing take off and landing position.
They rotate 45 degrees in flight mode and to make a bed.
Then he would be able to put his bare feet out of sight on the ottoman.

I think you need to be more culturally sensitive. Stubbies, singlets and thongs is considered to be smart casual in Queensland.

Up here in the Northern Territory, stubbies, singlets and thongs is considered appropriate business attire, but only if business thongs are worn.

Naturally when going out at night we wear dress thongs.

And on a real special occasion, NT folk borrow matching thongs!

then you obviously have not travelled in/seen in person, the F/C cabin to know how the seat/space actually works

The photo is pretty clear, even if this configuration is used only for takeoff and landing.

I did note no nail polish, so presume the feet belong to a male, or maybe a clean skin female!!!

Cheers,

On my last project it was company policy for everyone to come dressed to work when returning from R&R.

Same here.

I disagree with BAM1748 with respect to the comment about lower standards these days. Policies are still the same with all the companies I've seen in the last 8-9 years i.e. no work clothes / singlets / barefeet / gym clothing etc at dinner. Take away is usually not allowed.

Who makes up these silly policies?

No work clothes at dinner on site but work clothes in airports, airline lounges and planes is OK?

Well the people making these policies have no concern about lounges. That's up to the airline. That being said when someone is travelling to site, I would think that their clothes should be clean as they are coming from home. Those coming straight from site to the airport could possibly consider a clean shirt and pair of pants to change into.

In Perth QC again tonight. It's getting busier and the awful bogans next to me think it's hilarious to watch coughpy youtube videos on their phones at full volume, then laugh drunkenly about how funny they are.

*sigh*

Sorry for coughing.

I'm in the PER QP now and it is the first time I have been here and there is not one HiViz in sight. It is still very noisy / busy though

I don't see any issue with clean work clothing on planes or airline lounges.

BTW although you cannot wear work clothing to dinner, they do let you wear work clothing for breakfast! They assume everyone is wearing a fresh set of hi viz clothing in the morning...

I agree everyone should wear clean clothing when travelling to site. For white collar professionals who aren't in the mine / processing facilities very often, I don't see any issue wearing their work clothing from site to the airport if they're clean.

When I saw this little card in my hotel room I immediately thought of this thread!:mrgreen: Of course sandals are fine with the local wear, but I think with a suit it's a fashion faux pas

What is wrong with nice shorts? It's hot, I'm wearing shorts now at the Hilton. So here we are again having to "respect" another culture. What about mine?

I'll take a stab at it being something along the lines of it 'their country, their rules'/when in Rome...

If you want to visit another culture, I'd say it's pretty reasonable for them to expect you respect it while you're there. If people from other cultures want to visit Australia, they have to respect our culture too.
