They are really hoping that good examples will rub off and we will police ourselves. And, really that's how it should be. I think we are big boys and girls who can take care of this on our own. If we want to be treated as professionals first we need to look like professionals. But, that's my opinion.
Jump seating or non revving with an over garment is a good idea. It minimizes people bugging you or disturbing you while off duty and makes for a more pleasurable travel experience.
But, Navy wings? really?? Haven't seen that one yet.
I disagree. I think the management team that is not enforcing it's uniform standards is also not enforcing other standards of business and probably running a bad operation. It's attention to detail and expecting certain level of performance. When a management team is doing a good job, most employees take pride and do what they should, with the few outlier being dealt with.
I don't like Delta's uniform but I have to give their group and airline high marks.
Want to wear Northface? Quit and go to work for google.
BTW, I don't think a pilot uniform has to have a hat to make it look professional.
