Make sure everyone posts a comment on FT. Gotta laugh looks like it's 99% dislike versus less than 1% like.

Purple tie? What were they thinking, and furthermore leather jackets have been a part of pilot uniforms for over a century, who in their right mind thinks a purple tie exudes professionalism, but a leather jacket does not? Also thin stripes are not "seen" and do nothing to distinguish a pilot as a pilot. I've worn thin stripes and was mistaken for an FA many times. Never been mistaken as an FA with the broad gold striped uniform.
