I never thought of it like that and see your point now, I think though that for the most part regional guys put a good image out there for the profession, at least the guys I know. I guess my main point was the lack of a professional image is not limited to just regional/commuter airline pilots. I think as a whole we keep up a good image of professionalism that we display to the flying public, and maybe just a couple people who are careless with their appearance ruin that ever so slightly. However, I do believe if we were not pilots we probably wouldnt even notice (at least the backpack issue), no excuse for a wrinkled mess of a uniform, but again just my opinion.

On a lighter unrelated note: Pilots or no pilots, I think fanny packs in general are gay (not that there's anything wrong with that!
))

I personally have seen way more unprofessionally dressed mainline guys to be perfectly honest, not to mention the half dozen FANNY PACKS I see mainline pilots rocking as I walk through DFW the six times a month as I go through there! come on now whats worse a FANNY PACK or a backpack! HILARIOUS THOUGH!
Ha ha ha.. its all pretty HILARIOUS...
... My vote is for Bum Bag.. gotta love the brits..

I think this is worse that the fanny pack, but just my thoughts:
Was on a DTW-TPA NWA flight and the FO, who looked to be early to mid 50's, must have tipped the scales at 400 lbs. Seriously, I cannot see how he passes a Class 1 physical. The funny part was the suspenders he was wearing to hold up his pants and the half untucked shirt. I know some people have weight issues, but if your going to greet pax at the door, have a little pride in your appearance!
