The worst is a mixed crew of blazer and Karbon walking through the terminal. It's supposed to be a uniform (emphasis on uni). Karbon and leather look close enough to be ok together, but blazer and either look bad together.
The Karbon jacket is a *^%+ing joke. It’s hideous and makes us look completely unprofessional. The leather jacket is slightly better. I wouldn’t be caught dead in either.
The blazer is a very polished, professional, and traditional look. Sorry, but I’m old school when it comes to airline pilot attire.
.......and yes, the flying public does respect you more if you look and act the part of a professional.
