I think of myself as a bit part actor in an airline based farce directed from somewhere on the Campus.
If I then think of the uniform as a costume that keeps the director happy so that he keeps paying me every fortnight, it's a lot more palatable.
Seriously, it's the idea of someone, somewhere of what a pilot should look like so good luck to them. It doesn't represent anything these days anyway other than the cheapest pilot the group can find from various sub-contracted agencies willing to do the job.
Wear it, toss it in the back of the car at the end of the trip, go home, chuck it back on at the start of the next trip, get paid, live life. Simples.
