Re: Uniforms, why?

Ah yes, but then you'll look like a Brinks Mat courier driver, railwayman, policeman, chauffer etc
Mr Craggenmore can I just say that the majority of train drivers (especially virgin and First Great Western) have much more professional looking (and smarter) uniforms than any you would get from a flight training school. I also think (having seen the uniforms at the FTO's) that it would look far more professional (and certainly more like a real training base for an airline) if they just insisted on wearing a smart work shirt and tie with trousers and smart shoes. That keeps you happy when you go down the supermarket as now people think "there is a businessman". The only people who won't like it are the 18 yr olds who think by putting on a black tie and a pilot shirt from a catalouge they instantly become airline pilots (although many staff from FTO's think this to). I have to say I think a smart cotton shirt and tie would put me in the working mood much more than a cheap pilot shirt with two bits of cloth on the shoulders.
