The sight of our proud captain wearing his best, standing with immaculate rigid posture and in perfect emotional control commanded the attention of everyone on board. Though the passengers might not understand the symbols of rank that adorned his perfect gold (or silver) encrusted uniform everyone instantly was able to recognize who was in charge and who they could invest their faith into during their trying situation.

Under the Captains benevolent oversight the passengers were able to withhold thoughts of panic, listened to direction and accomplished a near perfect evacuation and rescue. Order was maintained due to the fact that everyone could recognize that there was a strong leader in place due to the silly costume that he was wearing.

Imagine what the outcome would have been if Sully were to be trying to scream above the pandemonium while wearing a polo and dockers. He could be just another business traveler. How would a passenger know who the boss is?

Dress for success.
