Man, most people are thinking that when you dress better, you act better. I fought against this before, but it actually is often true. I was a submariner. While in port, we had to play by all of the military rules. But, out to sea was a different story. We didn't have to shave, and we basically didn't have to wear our uniforms to watch. We could wear any type of hat. As long as we did our job, nobody cared because no one could see us anyways. Basically, there were about 130 stinky werewolf looking men running around patrolling the ocean bottom. One day, the rules changed, and we had to keep up our shaves, haircuts, and uniforms. We all flipped out, but in the end, we couldn't deny the results. We were in a different mindset while we were unkept, and we had to actually take a while to get back into the swing of things whenever we were about to have ship inspections, or when we were about to pull back in port. After the change, we were on our games the whole patrol instead of certain times. This improved my boat's performance. I don't know if this is even similar to the FAA situation, but sometimes its just best to do things instead of investing too much energy into worrying about things that really aren't all that important anyway.
