Well, we have vented a lot of opinions here in a very short period of time. We have gone from a simple dress code to deregulation; maybe, just maybe we should take a look in a mirror. Remember the days you would give anything to fly for a commuter airliner and then the majors. Maybe it was the uniform, women or pay, for what ever reason it was something you worked hard for. We all choose this profession, we all applied, interviewed and accepted employment, and now a few complain about the pay, work rules ect…. Yes, the daily grind gets all of us, commuting to work the crowds and working on the Holidays, but man what a view in our office. And what about that future pilot that is 8 years old, looking up at your loose tie and rolled up sleeves, and your cavalier attitude, only out for what you think is fair. So, back to the mirror, I am the only one that can change myself, I will shine my shoes (2 minutes at a cost of 25 cents), I will press my shirt (free ironing board and iron), I will buy wool blend pants instead of cotton dockers ( 45 dollars and will last me one year) and I will walk with pride down the jet way. Because I know, at the end of the day, I did the best I know how to do, I know that looked after our passengers and fellow crew members as best I could and I did it with pride. The uniform expresses this pride!!!!!!!
