Not miserable about much. In Hollywood anything goes and folks strut around in uniforms while making movies all the time, but when an actor also does it in real life, it seems odd.
As for the C-172 kids running around in full Captain uniforms: Seems odd too: I worked hard to get my 4 bars and it meant something then, now anybody buys and dons whatever they want, seems a bit odd, but guess it is ok these days.
