Ignoring the sarcasm in the above post, I do agree with his sentiments. So what if Andy Harrison doesn't wear a tie?
It has always been easyJet policy to not wear ties, but I would be at all surprised if Andy back in his RAC days used to wear a tie to the office.
We are trying to make the company look more professional (because we are a professional airline) and ties make us look like the other airlines out there. The company is 11 years old now therefore it is time that it acted it's age and stopped looking like the young upstart that it was.
My comment in my previous post re: star trek uniform was tongue in cheek, I feel proud to wear my uniform every day. I will feel even prouder when I wear my nice newly designed uniform with a tie when it is launched
