while we are on the subject of uniforms, i would like to ask people what they think of the sweaters with epaulets on them. i know many companies allow them but what is your opinion?

Come on now!! You know the ladies like the uniform!!...........

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.

cops eat on short breaks or while on duty, that would be the the same as a pilot eating in the airport

i would rather waste 10 minutes changing than be that guy

Being seen in uniform is "that guy?"...usually its "that crew." It does look weird for a guy to eat by himself in uniform off-airport but I've had several meals a block or two from the hotel with the whole crew in uniform (mainly because you usually get to the hotel 15 minutes before said restaurant closes)... I can change and not eat (and pay $20 for room service) or run over and eat. If you're that embarassed to wear a uniform you're in the wrong line of work...and will continue to get strange looks from those of us who've flown military for months at a time without seeing a day out of uniform.

"that guy" refers to the guy who wears it everywhere and looks around to make sure people notice him

i understand that you not always have time to get changed before eating, and therefore does not make you "that guy"

i am by no means embarassed to wear the uniform, but i also do not wear it when it is not required of me
