I know we get paid crap but it doesn't cost any money to pick the right size or to iron your shirt.. btw, I hate ironing myself but the crisp uniform looks so nice. Yesterday I even saw a guy who wasn't wearing any undershirt underneath.. I was kinda appalled when I could see pale-ish flesh tone underneath his pilot shirt. I mean.. just WHY???

Even with all the male pilots I pass by on a daily basis there really are only a few who look REALLY good. But so far I noticed that majors pilots look impeccable in their uniform. It just fits into the professional pilot image so much better than rumpled, ill-fitting uniform. And speaking of the few who do look really good, I am flying with a captain right now who I'm having a mini-crush on.. he's not HOT per se, but looks very professional in his uniform! Well, it could be the fact he's a great captain that makes him attractive. Seriously, I love flying with him, it's very pleasant. and that's the thing - you could be wearing the pilot uniform and even have a cute face, but if you're strutting around like you're hot poop and complaining about this and that and talking crap about everything and everyone the attractiveness level goes down to like -10.

disclaimer: this is all just IMHO.
