We wear uniforms down here in South, FL - Polo shirt, Khaki shorts - Anything more and we would melt before lunch...

Oh, and the best part of our uniform that I forgot to mention...Khaki pants are a requirement, no budging. The rationale behind that is that in the event of a fire we would be protected from the fryer. However, the school-supplied pants are a polyester fabric, which would melt snugly to your extremities, forming a protective barrier from the flames.

I am thinking of opening a flight training academy in which the instructors are all hot females. The uniform will be something ala Hooters. Thoughts, concerns, questions? Discuss....

If the Shoe Fits
Stick & Rudder has the right idea. I can certainly see wearing a professional looking uniform in a terminal area if you fly for an airline or even a corporate flight department. The image of professionalism is important to convey. If you're in a GA aircraft, a uniform with 4 stripes, tie, epaulets, hat, etc. is w-a-y out of place and at a training academy....plueeezze.
Once we get in the cockpit and close the cockpit door, ties are OFF , shirts unbuttoned and we get comfortable. Even the female pilots go along as comfort is most important. I had to ferry an aircraft recently (767) and the crew wore polo shirts with comfortable slacks. Looked good and was way too comfortable.
