I've only been flying "professionally" for ten months. I am a young pilot and I worked very hard to get where I am. I am only an FO and I have a lot to learn but I see captains older and more senior than I that cant wash their clothes, tie a tie, shine shoes, curse and argue in front of passengers etc. etc... I'm thinking at the same time "how can anyone who has worked so hard to get where they are act and dress that way?" Yes, I work for a crappy company. Who doesn't... but that doesnt mean you cant dress to impress. What are passengers thinking when they see a pilot dress and act this way? Especially the ones that are scared to fly or the one just looking for a reason to complain to the FAA.

Its funny I was talking about the same thing with another coworker today. Sometimes it is just beyond belief.
