Very well said and my sentiments exactly. Obviously as in any profession there are a few tools who slip through the cracks and make everyone as a whole look bad, however, I don't see too many of these backpack wearing, iPod headphones in, upside down epaulet dudes walking around. As a matter of fact as a whole I think that most pilots want to look and act professionally but out ability to do so is constantly being undermined by management (i.e. hats and blazers not allowed, etc). Everyone needs to get off their high horses and stop thinking that they are gods gift to aviation and every other guy sucks. Put some time and effort into improving out QOL instead of ****ing and moaning about it.
