I can only speak from experience in regard to the metal pilot's wings. I have never had an issue with them- always stayed put and never stabbed me. I've also never seen them chafe a shoulder harness. I'm all for them because they look sharp, classy, and shows attention to detail.

As for the double breasted uniform- well, I'm reserving judgement until I see it. Sitting down is absolutely going to be an issue.

Captains will be in charge of uniform compliance??? That means two things to me. Firstly, the uniforms will look aweful, as most captains I fly with look worse than I do. Also, I'm going to have to upgrade quickly so I can keep wearing my boots : )
