I dunno I like mine open. A nice cool breeze :cool:

Really though, during spring so many airports have the darn heat on even when you start hitting 70+ days. Warm teminal, crowded, and im dragging my roller bag accross carpet. Call me unprofessional if you want, but my cowl flaps are staying open

I button both, but I can fit into my blazer (at least for now). If it's sweaty balls hot in the airport like it usually is in Detroit I'm just taking the blazer off and hanging it over the bag handle. I'd rather that than look like a slob.

You're putting a lot of pressure on me.

Bottoning both is not how you're supposed to wear a blazer. Nothing to do with being over weight or not.

I would button it but the button came off after about 3 trips. If this is what I'm given to wear then I shall.

Define professional. I dont find anything in my company manual that dictates the usage of buttons on the blazer. So I guess that only leaves you. Are you the end all be all grand wizard when it comes to uniforms and professionalism?

Dont get me wrong, it may look better having it all buttoned up, but are we crossing a line of professionalism here? ;)

YHGTBFKM. I have to explain to a professional pilot how to properly wear a uniform?! You can't be this clueless, can you? Or maybe you can. Either way, not my job to help you figure it out.

I'm pretty sure the uniform guidance at TSA says buttoned or unbuttoned.

You look like a dork if you button both. That's not how it's supposed to be worn.
