All you cheap mf’ers that wear crappy looking pants and take no pride in your appearance are the same guys leaving cockpits trashed with food crumbs and leaving fingerprints all over the displays. Show some respect for yourself and our profession. And you knuckle heads that are going to flip out about this post are the ones I’m talking about. Rant over.

lol, I’ve never looked at another pilot’s pants

Insinuating anyone would wear other than the approved pants from the FOM is frankly appalling. How dare you.

Someone carries a rain jacket for rainy walk arounds and you accuse them of being a complete slob? I guess I’m a slob. Don’t worry though, I’ll write your name on the screens with my greasy fingers.

So someone smarter than me should start a poll. Single or double breasted?

Double. The single column of gold buttons looked goofy in the pictures.

Single. I'm over double

the gold singles just don’t look right, I agree

Not getting a jacket with the gold nipple buttons.

There’s only one place I like to see gold over nipples and it isn’t at the airport.

Tassels are actually more versatile than you’d expect.

100% single. The double is old and tired, imo.

As for the rest of the conversation. A lot of you seem to imply there's only one way. If they make jeans acceptable you CAN still wear slacks. Heck, you can wear your uniform and hat to the sim if you are that into it.

Same for the hat. Make it optional. Those who want to cover up may do so and everyone else can skip the hat as desired like quite a few already do today.

Same with facial hair. Police the grooming but allow nicely groomed beards. Doesn't mean you need to have scruff but a nicely trimmed beard can look good.
