I remember the media pictures of the controllers on strike in 1981,

There's a picket line dress code? G

In a past life, I spent some time picketing, and I thought you were
supposed to look poor.

For those outside aviation, do you think these guys looking like outright
bums instilled confidence that these bozos are the ones keeping the skies

A nice suit and a Beemer don't usually do much for public support during a
work stoppage.

They were light years removed from "nice suits". And their demeanor sure
didn't do them any favors either.
