I'm a lurker, on the sidelines, with no dog in this race, but I have yet to read if anyone has asked:
1. What color tie did @Derg wear to his Delta interview?, and
2. What is the rental rate on said tie?
Think about it Doug. Everyone has an assigned time slot, so there should be time to make the switch between interviews. You could make a little $$ to help offset your costs to keep the JC playground open.![]()
Hold on, BRB.

It was from "Structure" circa 1995.
Single Windsor, slightly long in the tie as per 1998.
NOT rocket science and I was already a broke regional pilot with a tie, why go buy another tie?![]()
Do they hand out red ties instead of red roses?Delta is "The Bachellorette". Do you get to step out of a limo and recite a poem about your love for Delta?

Well doneAh, the great mall stores of the 90s. Swing by Orange Julius. Maybe hit up the B. Dalton. Oh, and I wanna see if they have the new Boyz II Men CD at Sam Goody. We can totally listen to it in the car, I have an adapter for the tape deck.
Imma break out my houndstooth.
I have a pretty cool "spaceship" tie. It's being worn.Hold on, BRB.

I actually would really love to wear a pink tie. I am all about supporting the cause. I do feel that without a great personal breast cancer story to go along with it, it might come across as cheesy and trying to suck up. I'm sure I will see them scattered about though. Maybe a pink pin on my lapel would be more appropriate.
I still like my pink tie in uniform.The real question is, what specifically does wearing a pink tie or a pink lapel pin do to actually help fight breast cancer? What does "supporting the cause" mean?
Because *that* would be something interesting to talk about to a recruiter...rather than, "I like boobs...and don't want to see 'em have cancer and stuff...."

Am I still allowed to wear my tie?Same question, though -- aside from the financial contribution to whatever nonprofit benefited from the purchase of the tie (which, hopefully is where it came from), what's the real objective of wearing the pink tie?
Wearing a pink tie does nothing to help find a cure for cancer or provide treatment for those with it. Nor does "raising awareness" actually equal any progress toward those things, as breast cancer isn't exactly some obscure ailment that, because of its obscurity, isn't receiving the attention from the medical community commensurate to the damage it does to society. More people are "aware" of breast cancer than of probably any other specific form of cancer, in fact.

Don't get me wrong -- it is a great cause to volunteer your time, effort, and money for. Just questioning the actual purpose and value of the pink tie.
