I never thought of it like that and see your point now, I think though that for the most part regional guys put a good image out there for the profession, at least the guys I know. I guess my main point was the lack of a professional image is not limited to just regional/commuter airline pilots. I think as a whole we keep up a good image of professionalism that we display to the flying public, and maybe just a couple people who are careless with their appearance ruin that ever so slightly. However, I do believe if we were not pilots we probably wouldnt even notice (at least the backpack issue), no excuse for a wrinkled mess of a uniform, but again just my opinion.
