Here is a pragmatic approach to the pink tie. If you wear it, the FAs immediately become pleasant to you and it starts the leg off nicely. I have found it to be a great positive ice breaker with them (obviously speaking mostly of the women).
It’s a virtue signal, but it is a mostly positive one in my eyes as it brings people joy to see the support.

I think the point of the pink tie isn't so much to "demonstrate awareness" as it is to, you know, purchase the darn tie so $$ may be donated to the charity.
Kinda roll my eyes when I see a 10 year old pink tie on someone making close to a half million a year.
You never know though; could just be recycling the tie and donating on the side every year.

Absolutely true. I’m referring to the other 1%. I generally do well with my FAs. I like buying coffee and being pleasant. Some are hard to please and I have found the tie helps getting them on the same team. That said, I would wear the tie anyways because it shows support for the fight against cancer in general in my opinion.

I’m a cancer survivor. My dad did not survive his. My mom did. A good high school friend died young from a rare cancer. I bet many of us have stories like this. Our local breast cancer fund-raising run changed to a Run for Cancer….very inclusive. I’d like to see ties of various colors to represent cancers that have affected each of us most. That said, I support breast cancer research, along with all the others.
