Mod - I take your point.
BUT - if people want to be taken seriously and treated with the professional respect they feel they deserve - then stuff like this is not going to help in my opinion.
It promotes a stereotype.
It's hard enough to be treated respectfully by one's peers now in the port environment - look at the grief one get's just trying to get into the office if it happens to be airside in the UK!!
Do you consider yourselves as professionals or just eye candy?
