I really like the tradition of the white shirt & black tie, but I have on occasion wondered about practical aspects. I understand sometimes the crews may have to 'get their hands dirty' operating in some areas, or even in day-to-day operations like walkarounds in poor weather etc.
I wondered if a lightweight navy-blue shirt would be more popular, with lighweight cargo trousers and comfortable boots/shoes, similar to how some armed forces would dress.
I don't suppose that would help you lot pull the birds as well though
