They just Don’t ok……that’s fine that you take pride in your appearance, and I can’t say that I don’t, nor do encourage I anyone to not adhere to uniform policy.


I’m curious about what you think about NATCA? Have you ever done a tour of a tower or a TRACON?

Did you feel less safe once you saw everyone in there dressed like they were going to Costco?
