c'mon guys where's your sense of humour? i agree that neatness is definately an issue when dealing with the public and a good thing. i'd still rather fly with a 2000hr pilot wearing stubbies and thongs rather than with the pumped up little roosters who call themselves student pilots at our local aeroclub.it has to be seen to be believed. they look down on u when they first see u walking around casually dressed and don't even bother to say hello,next thing they see you taxing in after greasing the pitts in a three pointer and they all stare at you funny as if to say "you can't do that in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt!" and then want to be your best friend.as for being professional at work,i'm all for it.as for these shallow little c@##s...
