Some staff may well do a night shift in the buff (what really happens now the flight deck door is locked and welded?). It certainly helped a young ATCO at NEMA many years ago....

In the cruise I like to wear a thong ( it pleases the stewewards). It's great after walking to the a/c with a jacket and tie on. But on a more serios note, my doctor wears shorts and a t shirt. I would never doubt his ability to perform his job. We are qualified by our ability and not dress sense. Times change, people change, attitudes change, professionalism does does not!
As said earlier, dress code comes from the miliatry, which we are not. So tell the ex mil people to take a chill pill and adapt to the civvy world.

Just a few - so you know that story as well, it's a shame for her (well, them both really), that the doors weren't locked and welded, otherwise they probably never would have been caught.....

I wonder if ATCOs are selected for their lack of sense of irony, or if it is drilled out of them? :p :p

How nice for "free RISer Timothy" to continue his bitching at ATCO's!!

I dislike ties. What the hell is the purpose of a tie? It doesn't keep you warm, or cover any "naughty bits", well not normally. But, I'll wear one when the occasion demands (few and far between in my life). So, if you unwillingly have to wear a tie, take the p1ss. For example, go to this slightly off-the-wall site and guess which one I wear. Amusingly, many people have said "That's a very smart tie", and I have to smile.

I'm the biggest p1ss-taker in the world, but I try and tread carefully here (not carefully enough by all accounts!)
