I don't mind the millitary heritage, buzz. I like the uniform and the hat look too, and tell anyone who asks why I still wear my hat that the "chicks" dig it. 
I was only refering to the "good posture" reference in the FOM. I know that there have been many 5 day DC-9 trips I have done where that was all I could do is slump on the ticket counter to get my pass for my flight home.

Uncomfortable at first, but it sure puts a skip in my step in the morning, and I feel sexy all day long.

Delta-Midwest Code Share?
Delta continues war on AirTran in Milwaukee...
Minneapolis connection
The Delta-Midwest code share will make connections easier for Midwest passengers who fly through Minneapolis, said Greg Aretakis, Midwest vice president of planning and revenue management.
A passenger who flies Midwest to Minneapolis arrives at that airport's Humphrey terminal. The passenger must then take a light rail shuttle to the airport's main Lindbergh terminal to catch a connecting Northwest flight.
Under the new arrangement with Delta, Midwest is moving its Minneapolis operations to the Lindbergh terminal, where Delta is taking over the Northwest gates, Aretakis said.
"You'll be able to get on Midwest, fly to Mitchell, walk down four gates and catch a flight (on Delta/Northwest)," Aretakis said. The move to the Lindbergh terminal will occur within two months, he said.
Much of the code share for Midwest passengers will likely be on flights that go through Atlanta to connect on Delta flights to Florida and other destinations in the Southeast and on Delta flights through its Salt Lake City hub to West-Coast destinations, he said.
More choices
The code share creates more scheduling and connection choices for passengers, Aretakis said, while creating opportunities for Midwest to earn additional revenue.
For Delta, the code-share and frequent-flier partnerships are important because of the large number of Milwaukee-area passengers who fly on Northwest, Reichart said.
The Milwaukee area has the fourth-largest concentration of Northwest frequent fliers in the world, after Minneapolis, Detroit and Memphis, Reichart said. Extending the Midwest-Northwest partnerships to include Delta is a way for Delta to make those Northwest customers happy, he said.
"Expanding our alliance relationships to include Midwest Airlines is another customer benefit created by Delta's merger with Northwest Airlines," said Richard Anderson, Delta's chief executive officer, in a statement.
Delta, through its acquisition of Northwest, has a 47% non-management stake in Midwest. Northwest joined majority owner Fort Worth, Texas-based TPG Capital to purchase Midwest in a deal that closed in January 2008.
The new frequent-flier and code-share partnerships with Delta also will boost Midwest's credibility, Reichart said

Isn't this a flagrant violation of somebody's scope?

I do not think so. If it is I am sure there is a side letter to make it all better.
I will look.
