I have always thought ties were a safety issue, but maybe its just me. Also, there is nothing like a nice wobbly article of clothing hanging around your neck to snag something during an emergency evac. I can just see the report.... "Pilot exited aircraft via cockpit window without a scratch, then was accidentaly hung when his tie became caught on the pitot tube."

We have a very small cargo business here at Alaska Airlines. Some flights are exclusively cargo. When our crews fly one of those trips they do not have to wear a uniform. The crews like showing up in street clothes to fly the freight run. Have any of you cargo guys pursued this question with management? Why would they insist you wear uniforms?
I know the professionalism angle but seriously, do you really think you need the uniform to do your job professionally?

I always thought it looked professional
I always thought a flight suit, 9 mm, harness, snappy hard hat, and go fast pants were about as professional as it got! OK, maybe it wasn't all that professional, but I sure enjoyed the work. For now, I'll just have to settle for my PJ's and slippers from the hotel. Times have changed.

Been to all the major coastal Chinese cities at times with just a polo shirt.
And I agree in cruise for cargo pilots we should be able to just fly in a t shirt or whatever floats your boat,,,,and getting back to the point of the thread on whether or not it is professional to wear a uniform or not...i guess a bunch of us are just professional for the takeoff and landing,,,I take my tie off most of the time in cruise..i guess that is not safe for some people...never wore PJ's though...I might just try boxers...
