The fact that anyone actually cares what they wear indicates that engagement is far too high. Turn up, wear it, go home, get paid. Pretty simple.
There's been no pride in the uniform for years - ever since the company decided it was cheaper to outsource the flying to everyone else rather than keep a QANTAS pilot on a QANTAS aeroplane to do the job.
If they pay me to wear a monkey suit, that's what I'll do. The rest of the angst is a waste of time and effort.
