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

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. :D

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....

I'll be taking my next BFR at your school.

Yeah, I wouldn't learn anything because I would be hitting on my instructor the whole time!!

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.
