If you want to look like crap, go ahead, but don't expect to get much respect. You've apparently not earned it. 
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.

Great attitude!!! You'll certainly go far in this industry. BE-99's may be as far as you ever get though. If I was your boss and saw you looking like crap I'd think you certainly didn't deserve to be paid more since people who make less take more pride in THEMSELVES .......... Wow have you go a lot to learn................

And for pete's sake, take your uniform off in public. I went to a restaurant and saw two pilots wearing epaulets and their crew badges while they were sitting down and eating. This place was no where near an airport too. C'mon, you are not on that tight of a schedule to at least take your epaulets and badge off.
