UK Flight Crew Uniforms - Gold or Silver Braid?
Which UK airlines other than BA use silver braid on their pilots uniforms? i.e. rank markings etc.

Question arose today, can't think of any others, but would be interested to know.

Some of them get upset if you call it "silver" - apparently it's "platinum"

MyTravel (as was) and AirSouthwest.

Personally, think it looks really naff, especially with the cheap blue suits. Stripes more dirty grey than anything remotely resembling a precious metal.
