Personally I still take pride in my professional appearance but the companies have made it very clear that they don't care if you look like a slob as long as you're willing to work cheap.
We've gone from $500 escorts to $10 hookers but the companies are still getting their happy endings

You're right. At one point this profession attracted people with good personal and professional upbringing. Now due to the continued degradation of the career field it is attracting more people that don't have those qualities. Also the companies used to enforce professional behavior. At one time it was possible to be fired or at least reprimanded for not wearing ones hat. Now a pilot barely has to be able to fly an ILS and they get to keep their job.

Today's TOTD is this pilot which is making email rounds:

I hope it is fake or some prankster, but somehow I fear it is real.

You are correct. Look at a few of the "professionals" on this board. Sigh.
