Why do it if it's not fun?

Well, short skirts don't suit me, and my hair is too short to do "flouncy"!

But seriously, this is a personal thing. I don't care what an instructor looks like - I've flown with some very good scruffy instructors, and some very bad smart instructors. That's just me - some people put far more emphasis on looks than me, and that's why when I instruct I always try to look smart (or at least as smart as I can, because I'm not a naturally smart-looking person.)

If it really bothers you, then don't go to that school. But I wouldn't read very much into it myself.
Assuming these lads are on the stepping stone to an airline career, I do wonder what they would consider appropriate for their interview?
Although there's a connection, it's only very indirect. In my previous life (where I was very rarely allowed out of the basement to interact with the public) I was frequently scruffy, but I'm quite prepared to smarten up when it's necessary.
