We're labor. Labor wears uniforms. We have our names on our uniforms.
I don't think our look is really factored into how much our contribution toward the bottom line is worth.
It doesn't for these guys and they wear uniforms.
That being said, I wear my uniform with pride; no backpack over the shoulder, no shades on in the airport; a hat on my head that's in good condition, and my jacket buttoned for starters. Short sleeve shirt under the jacket because the flying public doesn't give a rat's @$$.

Apparently, that doesn't do anything to speed the process.
Maybe I should find something else to do...

Yup.... silly conversation is right. And you totally missed my point about the long sleeves and having them rolled up. I do that in the cockpit when the door is closed, not when in public view. I guess that since I don't have an entitlement mentality, I believe that my employer has the right to tell me what to wear and how to wear it. So I wear the prescribed uniform. I did it in the military, and I'll do it here. It really isn't all that hard, and it doesn't make me look like a fool. (contrary to your belief I guess). It's just a uniform. Just be sure to at least take out your nose ring when you fly. Please.
