I think the young guy with the spiked/gelled hair looks much better for the profession than the classic fat guy with the tie that only goes half way down the belly, and the high water pants that make it to just about the top of the ankles, polished off with a nice comb-over and some grease stains. Some of these individuals dress so bad they wouldn't make it two months in a Radio Shack let alone the corporate world. Seems like those are the ones who protest so loudly over the gelled hair guys with ipods.
There is nothing wrong with looking stylish. Look at young lawyers, bankers, traders, etc these days; they all dress well and definitely don't get their hair cut at Super Cuts. I never understood why so many pilots seem to take their fashion cues from WalMart. We are supposed to be worldly, professional individuals. right???
