Oh, come on, 18greens. It's not that difficult to effect a complete metamorphosis. I do it a lot. As a helicopter instructor, I have to do the collar and tie bit, but as a woman, I really, really dont want to go shopping or anywhere else after I leave the airfield looking like that. A teeshirt in a flight bag, or even under an aircraft seat, is all you need. Then a quick dash to the loo - and you chaps don't even need to do that - and I can look like a normal person again. Trousers are trousers - I like tatty jeans too, but they're not essential. And modern shirts survive being stuffed in a flight bag; you can always iron them before the next day's flying if you really want.
I'm inclined to agree that these lads need a lesson on what is appropriate - uniform OR casual, but not a mixture!
