You make a VERY compelling argument. As a resident of Houston, I come into contact with the occasional NASA engineer.......and while they are usually BRILLIANT......I wouldn’t always describe them as “professional”. Peculiar....eccentric.....weird......socially challenged.....yep. In all honesty, when it comes to ties, I think they are silly and outdated, but our uniform looks terrible without them.

We should buddy bid. I've just been tying off to the door knob. I could use a helping hand. One time I forgot the dead bolt, and came to with the fa taking pictures through the open door.

Just don't be the guy removing his tie, epaulets and wings and look like a pilot trying not to look like a pilot. Especially when we can still see your lanyard and "Crew" tag on your overnight bag.

The public is oblivious, only other employees recognize a pilot who has "de-blinged".

I used to get asked where things were in my 91k polo and dress pants. They can tell.

In hotels around airports I can have on a civilian polo, jeans, and a pair of running shoes. Frequent fliers and business people ask who I fly for. What gives it away? I knew I should not wear that hat when I go for a jog.
