It is not just in the airline business that executives are abusing the workforce for their own gain.
However I feel that the image of the airline pilot matters. I once threatened to offload a copilot if he came to work again without his hat. He made the point that the hat did not affect his ability. I responded that if he looked like a busdriver then the company would be delighted to pay him accordingly.. These days I am sad to see pilots in the terminal no hats, jackets undone, rucksacks over their back etc. Don't dumb it down, some of the old fashioned ways can still have a use. Just a thought. Maybe I'm just an old fart.
