Why, yes they are and de-wrinkling spray as well as fabric refreshing spray are relatively cheap and do a pretty good job!

But seriously, walk thru CLT, some of those mainline Cactus guys are the worst. And I've seen the Velcro shoes, on a mainline UsAir guy. I actually stopped and stared.

Fat pilots bother me more, but oh well. Especially the young fat ones.
I know...nothing is worse than a fat pilot! 'Cept make a black or chick pilot. (Yes I'm being facetious) and anyway...I was walking through ORD yesterday and saw Bernoulli with about 3 inches of his thong creepin out under his tramp stamp. Totally unprofessional bro.

I spent time working on the ground at a major airline, and some regionals stood out as being worse than others. Skin tight pants, and shirts that looked like washed and put away wet. Even saw freight pilots with non uniform pants and shoes. Major airlines looked much better, and foreign airlines topped.

There were some freight companies that looked pretty decent. Atlas was usually well groomed. The big U wore their uniforms professionally.

Been a few weeks since we've had a thread get locked up. I wonder how much vitriol we have to spew before they close shop on this one.

And you're wondering why some guys wear dockers. Not that I'm advocating it, but some of these overpriced cheap @ss uniforms suck and I don't blame anyone for going with something that is cheaper and wears better.

Sorry. All you get to know is that the details you "heard" were 100% incorrect.

Meaning, flip/invert the words to potential alternate nouns/verbs and you'll trend towards more accurate info.
