I saw a PDT IOE instructor today in PHL, he completely trashed a new hire because of the way he wore his uniform. His biggest complaint was that his stripes were on backwards. "No Captain is going to respect you as a pilot or what you have to say if you look like a SLOB!!!"

Personally, I think the guy went just a tad bit crazy. But I do know what hes talkin about. Anyway I guess my point is just to help out some of you new guys who havent worn a Uniform yet. Cuz I too have seen it myself. So yeah.....the wide end of your stripes are supposed to be furthest away from your neck.
