Why's everybody hung up on the blue shirts? Give it a rest! I don't miss wearing a white shirt every day, and think the uniforms look pretty good. At least JB pilots don't look like skycaps. I'll wear blue to work (often with a dark colored tie) when I fly as long as it isn't too warm out.

The color of your shirt doesn't make you a professional. It's your actions and how you wear that shirt that dictate your image (and worth), IMHO. I've seen plenty of slobs in white Van Huesen aviator shirts.
