I think the point Ace is making is that, despite company regulations to the contrary, pilots are still turning up on company premises in
defiance of those regulations, that must surely make one wonder just what material these people are made of? Nothing to do with history or goggles and leather flying jackets or the way one speaks, just all about attitude to authority, an authority the pilots were willing to accept when they signed their contracts.
13th Stage You are so wrong,
yanks are particular with clothing but in Europe we aren't
Yes, in Europe most of us are, (and in Australia, when it comes to work and the work place), it is the younger element that continually wants to buck convention that piss a whole lot of people off who have spent their working life maintaining acceptable standards. Tomorrow you will whinge about the general public having lost all respect for our profession and still expect to be taken seriously turning up in the office wearing your beach clothes. There is a time and a place for everything, all you have to do is get the order right.
