Dress Code

LWG writes:

Don't have personal knowledge about private pilots, but I remember being
astonished to see the ski lift attendants wearing impeccable uniforms in
Austria a number of years ago. I think some sort of convention of dress adds
to respect (and yes, I have been following the thread and understand the
point that we rarely see controllers.)

Dress is often used to hide incompetence.

Is that why France considers itself the fashion hub of the world?

This is kind of frightening...

My God. I had no idea the FAA was so controlled by their union that
they feel they must put up with this sort of thing. Imagine -- they've
got a current employee, on staff, who runs a website solely for the
purposes of impugning his employer!

And what a fool. He has neatly and succinctly documented his own
insubordination. Snidely referring to the company CEO as "Maid
Marion?" Documenting the insubordination of his fellow employees in a
photographic record, and publishing it worldwide?

In the real world (meaning anything outside of our totally screwed up
government) his career would be measured in nanoseconds.

My respect for controllers could not have been more diminished. Quite
frankly, after many years of holding the FAA in the highest regard, I
now must admit that I've never seen an organization with a more
self-destructive workforce in my life -- and I've worked for some very
large, very dumb corporations. If any further evidence of the need to
privatize the FAA is necessary, I will be very surprised.

What a shame.

Who do you think you're kidding?

If you mean about my respect for the FAA, I'm not kidding. I always
thought the FAA was a bit uptight and anal about certain regulatory
things (okay, a LOT uptight), but I never had any reason to disrespect
the individuals who made up the FAA. To a man, they've always been
smart, kind, and professional.

That has changed.

The individuals who make up the FAA are government employees. You have
clearly stated your disdain for government employees more than once in these
forums.

My belief that most federal employees are underworked and overpaid is
not "disdain". It is something, however, that could be easily and
swiftly addressed, under any new administration.

Yes, what an indignity: a government agency forced to respect employees'
right to criticize the government. That certainly shows how evil unions are.

They're not criticizing the "government" -- that is every Amercan's
right. They *are* openly slandering their *employer* -- and in the
real world that should be a one-way trip to the unemployment line.

Of course, since the FAA is only playing with "pretend" money -- our
taxes -- it is apparently just fine that the inmates are running the
asylum. Unbelievable.
