I wear that "5th" strap on the harness for takeoff and landing. I heard that's how the Comair F/O lost his leg. He slid down out of the seat and under the panel. It does come off after takeoff, though.

Short-sleeve and tie reminds me of computer geeks.

I have waited a long time for this individual's name to be brought up on this thread.
During one of my classes, while discussing airline labor relations, he discussed his role in the Continental strike of 1983 and how he crossed the picket line. When asked if he regretted his actions, he bragged to the class "I'm proud to be a scab!" Even in those early days of my career I understood the implications of crossing a picket line and my jaw just about hit the floor.
He went on to describe how all his Navy friends at Continental had turned their backs on him because of his actions. During the strike, he would antagonize and provoke the picketers and then call the police on them when they reacted in anger. His justification for crossing the picket line: he believed the strike was illegal and that he was helping save the company.
Very much a tool of the day!
PS He wears his Continental uniform to class including his ALPA lanyard...oh the irony.

Short-sleeve shirt and tie should never be acceptable. That's why I think it's time to dump the ties, looks goofier with a shot-sleeve shirt and tie than a shirt without a tie.

I agree, but that would require better shirts with better lay flat collars than what we generally have, otherwise it would just end up looking like casual Friday.
