Nothing makes me laugh more than people, on an anonymous forum, forever telling others how to be a professional. I probably have flown with 50 pilots in my career that look great walking down a terminal but are worthless on the flighdeck, the opposite is equally true with the guy who looks like a slob but is great at the job.

You nerds are really having a conversation about the bottom button on a uniform blazer. This takes type A controlling pilot to an entire new level.


I am laughing, this is funny because it's true.

Just put your pinky rings up to the moon.

I am impressed my comment about an unbuttoned blazer has got this thread all spun up!

Now how bout the guys wearing pants that are way too short. Kidding. But I'm not.

I am soooooo glad I am a freight dog! Yes, we also look the part when we have to, but where I work, being a good stick goes much further in showing pride and being respected for what we do. Every time I see the new Delta uniform, images of the Titanic captain flash in my head.

What "new Delta Uniform"? Did the Titanic captain resemble a Flight Attendant?

The new ones that make all the flight attendants and gate agents look the Violet from Willy Wonka. They're set to roll out in a bit.

Hey I was a freight dog too. Good experience. Helped me to become a good stick. All I'm saying is we have to wear a uniform. Why not have a little pride in what we do and wear it well. That's all. The vagabond is out of this discussion.
