And I understand that some of you feel that we are nothing more than bus drivers, and in your opinion it is perfectly acceptable to act accordingly. It is funny that when the subject of compensation comes up, somehow we magically transform into irreplaceable gods. It's a package deal. Either you are a "professional" in all aspects of your working life, or you are not. If earbuds, colored hair and flaunting your disdain for the company required uniform is OK with you, then you shouldn't be surprised that you are not taken too seriously in other aspects of that working life. It's your choice. I really don't care.

Exhibit A ^^^. What look are you trying to give with the rolled up sleeves when you're "running hot"--The experienced, over worked bus driver, or the bus driver who's got his swag goin'?

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 @$$.

It took Sir Francis Drake 3 years to get to the American West.

I've been clicking the refresh button on the advance entitlement page of the Deltanet every few minutes.

Apparently, that doesn't do anything to speed the process.

Maybe I should find something else to do...

Mr Anderson and numerous surveys of HVCs would beg to differ, but go ahead and look like some kind of derelict, and see how seriously you are taken. It's your future. And the whole point that (I believe) Carl was making is that long sleeves looks better with the jacket. I agree. The uniform approves the wearing of short sleeves. What I find unbelievable is that some come on here and make a blanket statement that all wearers of long sleeves are tools.

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.

wow... really? So defending the uniform makes me a tool?

Good point.

I wear short sleeves under the jacket for the same reason I don't wear underwear.
