#1 Why is a dress code to 'dress professionally' needed in a job where nobody sees you? Dumb.

#2 In Miami, controllers were told they could no longer wear "tropical shirts," even though they have collars. Management later changed its mind and said tropical shirts with "muted colors" were permitted!!

Free the Hawaiian shirt seven!!!

#3 Long ago and far away, when I was paid not-so-big bucks for my labour, I discovered the hard way that when I didn't dress seriously, I couldn't work as seriously. There is definite games playing on both sides because the contract negotiations broke down. *Both* sides need to grow up.

#4 I always did better work in jeans, sneakers and a comfortable shirt.

These FAA jerks are idiots.

#5 A controller in Oakland, Calif., was sent home to change because his pants were "too wrinkled."

In Maryland, a supervisor shined a flashlight up and down a controller's pants. The supervisor said the pants had "jeans-like seams" and the controller could not wear them anymore.

I think the supervisors need to get a fucking life. I mean, really, what the hell are they trying to prove? Beyond simply "I have authority, you don't, so I'm going to tell you what to do".
