Should we turn up to work looking as smart as possible*, yes!
(* there are some people who are naturally untidy however thats no excuse for not trying!)
Should EK have better things to do rather than sending out stupid instructions like this, yes!
SS That is absolute BS.....
It's exactly this kind of holier than thou bigoted attitude that makes it painful to share a flight deck or even a crew bus for that matter, with people who think they're better than everyone else because they can do a button up.......
It's a high likelyhood that these 'lackeys' are probably streaks ahead as operators and most definately socially, which is a huge part of working as a crew. Something severely lacking in this part of the world.
The number of people with outdated, 60's esque attitudes towards millennial aviation is quite frightening and pretty much sums up what a miserable place this is to ply one's trade......
I'm so over it........
