Does that instill trust in your passengers? I think not.

That's funny a bunch of guys saying former military guys are wearing there airline pilot hats wrong? Think about the standard that military guys are coming from and the standard they had when they were in the mil. I'm sure its alot higher than the airline ones. I've seen people wearing stupid jewelry, ugly shoes and unkept hair. The military allows leather jackets does that make then unprofessional? I'd rather have more guys looking like they were clean-cut military than the ipod wearing/skycap looking slouches that are running around.

For what its worth, Air Force and Navy Pilots also wear leather jackets. Does that make them look unprofessional too?
I have no issues with wearing an overcoat as opposed to a leather jacket. But make it look professional. Double Breasted with Epaulets straps and a belt.
You might as well be wearing a black or blue lab coat otherwise.
