For clip-on ties, the FOM says yes.

You mean to tell me that captains never have to wait for the van/shuttle/limo sometimes? Also I said IN the south. Walking to the car or from the employee shuttle is enough to make anyone say no thanks to a blazer in the summer. That's just insanity.

Way too hot. Anything south of the Mason-Dixon Line and you are going to boil alive in that thing.

Ties with a short sleeve shirt look stupid, not professional. The uniform without the blazer looks like Al Bundy with epaulets

Well just like Southwest has to wear identification, sonwould any other airline that went that route. I’m sure some creative fashion designer could come up with something. I don’t think anyone has said business casual with no form of identification making them obviously crew members.

AA flight attendants are a smorgasbord of uniforms so consistency obviously isn’t deemed to important.

An airline pilot’s uniform should express his true, inner self, regardless of how others feel about it.

My personal favorites are the pilots whose ties, for whatever reason (gut, zipper tie too short, can’t tie a real tie correctly), only go down two-thirds from the collar to the belt buckle. Look like a bunch of cartoon characters walking around.
