Fwiw early airline uniforms and terminology came from the nautical world. Hell, pan am called their captains "masters of ocean going vessels" or some deity thing.

Which northwest did....so I guess neither pre merger outfit was any less "old school."
I wonder if passengers even care. Remember the skybus safari looking uniforms?
My two pennies worth were that if you insist on making us look like ocean faring captains, then allow us to have majestic beards. We’ll see how that goes.
