What would you say if you walked into your doctors office to have surgery done and the doctor had stains all over his scrubs, and looked like crap? Would you be ready to give him more of your business? Probably not..........yet you want to look like crap and be respected? I'm not sure why you think looking pathetic is the way to go. You represent a PROFESSION, and you're doing a bad job of it IMHO. Management is all screwed up, but looking like a garbage pit doesn't do much to instill confidence in the passengers and SURE doesn't help win us much support. When I see a pilot looking like crap all it means to me is that is that they are not happy with what they do and have no pride in THEMSELVES. Their are plenty of ways to voice disapproval, but looking like a dredge of society is not one of them. Flame away...............
