Are you trying to be stealthy so people don't know you're a pilot? A uniform in pieces looks even worse.

Why would I want to waste 10 minutes of crew rest running up to the hotel room to change when I'm already starving after 5 legs with no food? Go ahead and take your epaulets and tie and whatever off so you end up in a plain white short-sleeved collared shirt and plain black/navy pants...people will think you're Mormons coming back from a mission.:rolleyes:

Me too. Sometimes I have to push someone out of the way, which gets awkward and messy, but my three stripes say "this guy's not going to wait."

(You know, the ones being sent off to war for $1300 a month, and looking like they just walked out of a military uniform shop). They'll tell you it's all about PRIDE, PROFESSIONALISM and self worth. If you want to look like crap, go ahead, but don't expect to get much respect. You've apparently not earned it. :eek::rolleyes:

BTW, I've seen pilots being interviewed at CAL who were shot down because they'd been seen walking around looking like crap in their "other" company uniform. CAL didn't want to continue promoting their "look". But hey, if you're paid slob wages, then please dress like one, and see where it gets you.

Coming from the military the uniform standards and enforcement in the airlines is a joke. Try preparing your uniform for an hour or so everytime you wear it. Iron your pants and shirt, starch your collar and keep the shoes at least clean if you are not going to shine them. If you want to go above and beyond cut all of those little loose threads off your shirts. That is a bare minimum and takes no more than 10 minutes or so.

Epaullets are idiot proof, the seam on the bottom..you do not want to see that, the wide part goes towards your shoulder and the skinny part goes towards your neck.
