I think you misunderstood me a bit. What I was emphasizing was that public image is important. Pilots have lost a lot of respect in the US. It can be downright shocking how much more respect one in uniform gets internationally. Personally, I think at least a small part of this is due to certain pilots not dressing/acting professional in public. Ear buds, dirty/stained shirts, backpacks, and hoodies do nothing to instill public confidence.

A pilot who’s dressed well and in a uniform blazer on the other hand...
