My vote would be for a totally modern revamp with modern fabric, comfortable, breathable, lightweight, wrinkle free. A coat that's actually functional and can be thrown in an overhead bin and not wrinkled or ruined easily. I prefer to blend in at the airport, I don't need nor want everyone in the McDonald's line to know I'm a pilot.
But that's just me, I like practical things that make sense. I don't want something that makes me look like a peacock, I'd just like to do my job as efficiently as possible and I wish Delta would toss me a bone there.
Oh man, your ego is way too small to be a delta pilot. That being said, i agree with everything you said.
