I'd probably cut them a break if they're that close to the airport and probably on duty.
If they're on an overnight, yeah that's toolish.
I would argue that a white short sleeve shirt and black dress pants in the absence of any obvious airline paraphernalia is just that: a white shirt and black dress pants. Dorky looking? Probably. But not policy violating. Just tuck the brass, tie and epaulettes into a pocket and stop in the bathroom back at the airport if you need em for security purposes.
I get your point but I think they still get a sideways look and only half a break.
