The purple dress looks significantly better than the previous outfit, but now they have like 7 different options so that you don't even know what airline they work for. That's not what's happening here.
Agree with most of what you said. But given how cheap pilots are, I suspect the new "optional" blazer will just become the newest, fastest way to spot a newhire.
