I cant confirm this but Im pretty sure there are more pilots with military backgrounds at the majors.
If I come to work unkempt I'll definately hear about from the senior pilots. That culture is just not there at some regionals at their uniforms reflect that.
Hopefully one day all jet jobs will be at mainline like it used to be. Most of the flying public doesn't even know when they're not on US Airways (much to management's delight). Different uniforms is just a very small step towards the goal of saving these 10 year F/Os that are making 30k a year.
