Since we're talking about uniforms, I was just curious - how often do most of you guys get your uniforms cleaned? I can't count the number of times I've walked by pilots whose uniforms could stand up on their own. Geez people, take your uniforms to the cleaners every now and then! You can even clean them yourself with those home dry-cleaning kits. I send mine to the cleaners once a month, but use the home kit all the time. Oh yeah - UNIFORM EXPENSES ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE, if you itemize.

I saw a pilot in the terminal last night wearing gold-rimmed Top Gun-style aviator glasses. It wasn't bright in the terminal. Dork.

At least he was getting his shoes shined...but c'mon now.
