It appears some of y'all missed my point.
The point was that the OPTICS ARE BAD and may hurt Southwest's business image a WHOLE LOT MORE than a lack uniformity in the, you know, uniform.
We all understand how the Social Justice Warriors operate. They will see this as a "degradation" of those affected (primarily women) and will call for protests, boycotts, and Facebook campaigns because Southwest's sexist management obviously wants women to DIE of this dreaded disease...
It is just a stupid BUSINESS decision. Don't mess with a socially popular "education and awareness" campaign regardless of how effective it may or may not be.

The pink tie proceeds went to the SWAPA relief fund for pilots directly affected by cancer. Buying one was putting money forth directly to help out brothers and sisters on the line going through tough times and ya get to wear a better looking tie than any of the other options we’ve got.
Those of you calling it a uniform don’t seem to have a problem with the adopt a pilot ties, holiday ties, or flag ties.
I’m fine with this so long as next June, the Southwest twitterverse and Facebook page isn’t covered in rainbows.

This nonsense only happens in America because this country is always about "showing off" and being "Special".

This is sure to draw fire but I just don’t care. Every time I see some lemming with the pink crap I get ****ed. My grandfather died of colon cancer. My dad died of colon cancer. And now I’m losing my sister to brain cancer. What makes breast cancer (which has a comparatively low death rate) so special?

maybe because it is traumatic (even when not life threatening) to some women as a loss of their "womanhood" when they get double mastectomies and that 1 out of 8 women get breast cancer at some point.
If you gave me the option of skin cancer with a survivability of 90% and penis cancer with a survivability of 99%.......I think I'd choose the skin cancer and be thrilled that my penis wasn't being removed.
