So you saying leeds 65 that all the FTO's should get rid of the uniform policy? Me personally thinks it does serve a purpose for the reasons people have stated before me. Do think the guys training to eventually becoming fast jet pilots when they have low hours should turn up in jeans and shirt?? I don't think so they also have it for a reason!!
Chap, If you made a fast jet pilot wear his uniform in the cockpit he would tell you to shove it on god knows how many different grounds from looking a total dork to health and safety.
All mil aircrew wear flying coveralls (grow bags) when flying (and most of the time for that matter!) neither do they wear headgear post flight line. I for one spent 4 years in a grow bag and when I wasn't I wore jeans and a shirt! I may have worn my uniform once or twice in this time.
I personally think all aviators should wear grow bags. They are fire retardent and a hell of a lot more comfortable then polyester trousers a shirt and a tie.
A and C, I believe the female cadets at OAA wear stockings, suspenders and a hat. Oh yes and 7 bar gold epaulettes glued to their naked shoulders.
