Respectfully:
"Everybody" isn't. Walk through a Delta hub or outstation and 99% of pilots wear the seasonal uniform properly.
The few pilots walking around dragging their pilot suitcases and flight bags with a black North Face jacket on and a hat getting smashed in their bag to "stick it to the man" are a minority.
But the "great uniform debate" is a recurring theme on APC. Like "commuting is a choice".
Or a car that shall not be named.
