A valid point but how many of those same individuals are going to look stylish and chic just because they throw on this uniform? A 55 year old basic white guy isn't going to gain an appreciation for properly pressed/fitted clothing after decades of not GAF. It's also not going to make people look any smaller, I can tell you that much, and if anything, the light blue is going to accentuate the "curves" that are common among the New Balance crowd.

But the question we should all be asking is why does fashion have a single thing to do with it in the first place?? We are not models, we are there to fly the airplane (after walking around on the ramp on ice and snow and deice fluid and water, etc). Why do we have to make some kind of statement based on how we're dressed, can't we just wear a classic, muted, uniform that has some stripes somewhere and options for everyone in every climate? That runway show was the most pants-on-head retarded thing I've ever seen - we aren't here for a photoshoot, we are here to wear the same thing every day and DO OUR JOB!
