Why flying suits enhance the quality of your working life:
1. Full name badges make everything easier, whether its relaxing in the bar, or asking someone you don't know for a favour (we need some form of this for ground branches of all ranks).
2. Its extremely comfortable.
3. Its recognized worldwide in just about every Air Force.
4. 6 pockets plus pen holders make everything easier.
5. Minimal upkeep means more time to focus on the important things in life.
Generall speaking, I assume that someone in a flying suit has had to work extremely hard to earn it, displaying flexibility, initiative and persistence. All good qualities when a job needs doing. Often in the past I've been met by the answer "no" by a person in blue, however people in flying suits tend to reply "I'll find a way".
Unfortunately, those who see flying suits as a mark of elitism are entirely correct. However elitism is required in a job which can easily get you killed if you make a mistake.
