They don't teach this in flight school..

How to tie a tie properly. How to shine shoes. And hopefully their parents taught them to have a strong work ethic.

What's up with the trend of unfastened top button, loose tie and three day old shave ? Did I miss the memo or something ?

I stick with the cargo shorts and flip flops. Almost getting too cold for cargo shorts though, will have to switch to ripped blue jeans soon. Floppy hats are good too. Especially for keeping the sun out of your eyes whilst taking a nap under one of the wings for shade.
 
A lovely but long-gone ex-girlfriend once said to me, "I don't get the un-buttoned top button with the tie still on. It doesn't make you look relaxed. It makes you look drunk."

Redheads. They speak truth.

Ever since then, if I've been comfortable enough to unbutton the top button, I just take the tie off. If it's really too tight and uncomfortable then I need either a larger shirt or to lose some weight.

The 24hour clock thing drove me nuts.
