Sir Donald
....think i missed the point?....and you rant on about late fo's,command upgrades, and reading newspapers in flight....
...what i was saying ....albeit in a tongue in cheek way was...it should/does not matter what you look like (within reason),how you talk, what school you went to,what you interests are.....even if you don't have a handlebar moustache.
...what matters is your performance in the AIRCRAFT. Skills,CRM,the lot....this CANNOT be obtained by looking at a persons fashions skills, or lack of them.
....this IS the world we live in.....and should live in.
no failed upgrades here....thanks...just making a point.
