Attire for AC medical.

All joking aside just wondering what would be the most practical attire for the medical. Is a tie recommended or just business casual? Any input appreciated and thanks in advance.
Cheers!!!

Wear a tie. It shows you respect the process.

The three that were there on the day I went for my medical were all wearing suits.

The Doc that did mine a year ago said that it is "noted" on your file if you are not wearing a suit. I was fortunately wearing a suit.

All joking aside, you must be joking.

I find it incredible that people are asking what to wear during this entire process.

Perhaps not so incredible. I wholeheartedly agree that a suit is the way to go through the process, however in the case of the medical, I was wondering if they preferred you to wear something less restricting. I mean I don't wear a suit to go to my family doctor for a physical for obvious reasons.
Perhaps I should have asked my question differently as in should wearing a suit to the medical pose any problems?

Thanks to all for answering the question.

Cheers!!!

Keep in mind that EVERYTHING you are doing in front of any aspect of the company is being watched and sometimes noted. From the time you board the airplane to get there for your interview, to the medical, to the agent you deal with on your way back home.

A suit to an everyday medical, yes its not common, but in this case you are also trying to sell yourself off to the doctor as well and not just by simply passing the medical.

Very true and thanks!

I'm surprised they can disclose your attire in the results.

The doc told me it was simply a pass or fail. No in between, for example they can't say that your blood pressure is a little high.

I would think the doctors have better things to do than check out what your wearing, and also, by the time he sees you you've already been put through the paces by the nurse so your'e a little undressed.

I could believe it if it were the receptionists duty to make a note of it.

As a matter of fact, I believe they will make a note of it if you choose to read some of the strategically placed magazines in the room.

Most importantly, don't forget your stool sample. Candidates have been forgetting recently.

Didn't wear a suit for my medical and got on... I think a nice pair of pants and a nice shirt will do just fine, I don't see a need for a tie. Your attitude in dealing with the staff at the medical office will tell more about you than what you're wearing, IMHO.

KIAS, how long did it take from your medical until you got the email stating you have passed your medical?

cheers

for me 3 days

I would suggest wearing nothing but shoes, socks, and a trench coat. Why waste all that time getting undressed? Just walk into the office and boom, there you go.

KIAS is right on the money. I just wore a pair of Chinos with a nice shirt - it's all in your attitude. Guys in suits sitting there looked so damn uncomfortable (read: high blood pressure) and I can't imagine peeling it off for the ECG and then putting it all back on again to race out to the next event in the medical!

Nonsense.
Gate Agents, Flight attendants etc, through this so called "process" really don't give a shit about you. You really think someone is actually paid to "watch you" while you board the plane?
Come on....

Did you at least have a frickin shower?

pilotbzh · Post by **pilotbzh** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 4:19 pm

No, just a long bath to relax.
You should try it....with bubble soap... and a rubber ducky... Then you could learn to be nice and grow up.

Flapless Jack,

I don't remember exactly, but I'd say about 3-4 days...

Good luck to all.

I would think clean underwear would be most important! Anything but would be noticed more than the lack of a tie..
