kansas state was making their students wear uniforms, stripes were handed out for different ratings, etc...looked pretty bad and i was glad it never made it over to CMSU...

@ the airport, we have a "dress code" partially because they didn't want peoeple looking like slobs and the other reason was safety (no sandals, frayed pants, overly long pants, etc)

And from everyone i've talked to...all that wearing a uniform does to a pilot, is make him hate wearing a uniform....lol, can't wait till i get mine, but..maybe that's just because i never had to wear one. . .

oh, and students who wear flight suits, i had two students who did that every day we went flying...they were part of the the airforces Initial flight screening program. :p

They used to make us wear the 4 bars at MTSU...now most of us refuse the epaulets and some even the wings. We still have the white aviator shirts and slacks though...its at least better than the whole monkey suit. My personal vote is either a leoptard with a cape or a space suit (I think air conditioned suits with sun visors would be a great CFI tool. Haha just my two cents

"I think air conditioned suits with sun visors would be a great CFI tool".
Thats some funny ****tt! Great Idea.

At least you guys don't have to wear a tie, hat, and blazer. :D

Actually I really like the airline uniforms! They do look good in my opinion and they do look quite professional and show some last bits of piloting being a "white-collar-job"! But of course, only airline pilots should wear them, not CFIs! And maybe I only like them because I never had to wear one and wont have to until a few years. But as I said, if an airline pilot wwears a uniform, it just looks right!

Just my 0,02$...

I think the uniforms for flight schools serves a purpose, but...I would feel uncomfortable in it. My previous school almost decided on uniforms, but luckily didn't. Students should be comfortable, they'll have plenty of time looking professional when they get a flying job. The instructors on the other hand should look professional, but uniforms and nice clothes are expensive. Anything above shorts and t-shirt is good enough. But, if it were my choice thats what I would wear.

You could be like the retard instructor at the airport where I keep my Cherokee....he tells everyone that he flew for Comair. Most people immediately think the regional, but when you put it altogether you figure out that he really instructed at Comair Academy. He likes to lead people to believe he was actually an airline pilot. Nice.

I have seen those guys before trying to pull that little scheme off. Most people don't know any better.

I wear a shirt and shorts here and I work for the AirForce lol. It's supply and demand. I know what the demand is. And as far as supply goes I'm the only one. So it's my way or bust lol.

What do you mean you work for the Air Force? How could you wear that type of "uniform". I was in the Navy and never had any instructors like that.
