We'll never be uniform and we shouldn't be. There has to be a range that is acceptable. Some guys are hot. Some guys are cold. Some guys are fat. Some guys are fit. I'm a sweater guy and I look more professional in my sweater with epaulets than the gordos do with their gut stretching their Van Heusen over their belt. And that takes talent in that maternity cut shirt. We could do better but this is small potatoes bro.
How about we get some new hires that can stay off their ****ing phones for more than 30 seconds at a time. Or how about some pilots who know their call outs. Or how about some new hires who can run a ****ing radio and answer with a correct call sign in something that even remotely resembles AIM recommended practices. It would be a ****ing luxury to be able to nit pick uniform items with what we're being dealt on the line.
When the day comes that my biggest concern is whether or not we'll **** off Qotsaautopilot with our uniform attire is the day I'll give HR and the training department a big old ****ing atta boy. And for the record, I'm in agreement with you around 95% of the time.
