Great Idea......when I did my CPL in the US, modular, shock and horror, the school insisted that we wore uniforms with epalettes, now I did accept this, but you did feel a bit of a tt everytime you went anywhere in uniform off the airport.
The other issue was this, in the lovely Florida summer, when it is nice and hot there is nothing like a pair of black trousers in a small plane, you and your instructor sure do honk after an hour or two, thank god there was a pool at the dig's.
Conversely when I returned to the UK and did my IR, still in the summer, shorts and tee shirts were in order and we were a lot cooler.
I do think this idea of uniform is insane, however if you don't want to wear one don't go to that particular school! I had no problems with my school, very good and professional, just wish they did not bother too much about the uniform.
