Plus, shooting a CAT 3 approach isn't heart surgery. You either line up one dot on another or, like with the Airbus, it lands itself. The pilots job is to simply retard the thrust levers when the plane tells you to. It's not hard. Shooting an ils in a 172 is far more difficult.
Bad news boys, the airplane does fly itself, we are there to make sure it does just that.

Every FO should wear a hat so that they may salute their Captains properly.
Nothing looks more ridiculous than saluting without a hat on - unless it's saluting without a hat on with a cup of Starbucks in your saluting hand!

I think the bigger picture isn't about how your uniform looks but more of how you look. I've seen a lot of grossly overweight pilots walking around with a Wendy's bag and a supersized cup of diabetes but dang that uniform looks well pressed. Too bad the person wearing it is embarrassing! Just my take, flame on!
