I know a men's suit jacket should always have the bottom button unbuttoned. That's the way they are cut, to allow for that.
But we're not wearing a "traditional suit jacket," we're wearing a uniform coat, and something from my former Air Force days says to me that all my buttons on my uniform jacket should be buttoned.
Having said that, I usually wear my airline jacket with the bottom button unbuttoned.

The argument on whether to button the bottom button or not (not, as it's traditionally worn and cut to not have that one buttoned) is small potatoes relative to the argument whether to button it at all or not. Note to those that walk around around the terminal in their uniform with the flaps waving in the self-induced breeze.......
You look amateurish to your fellow peers and the general public. If you're too hot, take off the blazer and lay it on your roller.

So, uhm... Most of you became pilots to wear the uniform? To look a certain way, to live out scenes from "Catch Me If You Can"? I know of people like that, most of them never got past their instrument rating. Well hell, I ought to stop flying in my sweat pants and comfy t-shirt, I didn't know it was the uniform that made us professional.
Have some self-respect people. Look and act the part of a professional pilot.

Funny, maybe I'm a tool for even wading into this discussion, but I've always wondered about this.

But we're not wearing a "traditional suit jacket," we're wearing a uniform coat, and something from my former Air Force days says to me that all my buttons on my uniform jacket should be buttoned.

In fact, it's even easier than buttoning everything.

I never knew this stuff about blazers/suit jackets. Seriously.
That said, please for the love of all that's holy, have some pride and wear the uniform correctly and with pride.
It's not that hard, people!

Exactly, and if you need a little visual guidance take notice of an Emirates, Lufthansa, Korean Air, etc crew the next time one walks past you. One of the reasons they're respected far more in their respective countries than we are in ours is because they look and act the part.

. Oh the humanity. But the good new is no ear buds, no back packs, or the weird colored reflecting sun glasses with white rims.
