Hey - if the gloves, or the shirt, the tie, the bars etc. are for "medical" reasons (for want of a better word) that's fine.
If the gloves (especially) are to make someone feel like a fighter pilot, that is sad.
Slightly different tack (get the sailing gloves [ho ho]) - I'd be curious to know, for the purposes of this thread where the dividing line comes between "general aviation" and whatever level you wish to put above it.
Would an air taxi operation in, say, a Seneca, come under "general aviation" or not?? Should that Seneca pilot wear bars whilst carrying pasengers - but not whilst flying the same airframe at the weekend on a jolly??
