It’s not depicted, but a sloth suit would be appropriate for retirees.

Yep. The hat blew off once, and picking it up would have been too much work.

Then there’s Abercrombie & Fitch (fashion shop, not the safari outfitters of the past) where crews were told to wear t-shirts, jeans and flip-flops to fly. One G5 captain objected, was fired and sued for wrongful termination. Casual can taken too far.

Better tell the thousands of passengers flown daily by international pilots how their lives are at risk because their pilots are masculine and good looking.

Hawaiian's B717 interisland pilots, ties are optional. Island Air (before they closed doors), the pilots never wore ties (they weren't even issued ties... or a hat... or blazer). Wasn't Virgin America tie-less as well prior to the Alaska merger?
My current airline policy: The tie shall be worn unless both of the following conditions are met: Locally reported temperature 90°F (32°C) or greater. No more than the top button is unbuttoned when the tie is removed.

This. I always feel like a door to door proselytizer when I go to work in the summer. The only time ties look good is with modern fashions and trim people. You want all pilots to look professional? Then institute mandatory weigh ins and have uniforms that dont make us look like cheap polyester caretakers with gold/silver trim.

I use my tie as a noose to beat off with on overnights, never w/out
a teammate or spotter though. I always brief to let go of the tie when you feel me go slack

FedEx caravan feeder pilots, we fly 3:00 in the morning, no one sees us except rampers, we are required to wear ties, go figure!

Yes.

In fact if you work for a big cargo operator you change into sweats or pajamas until TOD.
