Displaying the US flag as a tie
Lately I’ve noticed a certain pilot group flying for UAL out of STL and ORD wearing ties that represent the US Flag. Not only does it look tacky, it’s a violation of US Code of Flag Etiquette: ‘The flag should never be used as wearing apparel”.
Am I the only one that finds this disrespectful?

Under the code of ethic, the interpretation is that the "actual" flag may not be worn as a piece of clothing. Henceyou can't tie it on and wear it as a cape or cut holes in it and wear it as a shirt.
Ties, Tie tacs are acceptable as long as it isa flag design and not the actual flag.
Hope that helps.

You can't tell me that this is all you can complain about.

You're gonna have to be indignant about a good number of SWA, and Chautauqua, and ________________- (fill in airline here) pilots if you're concerned about that...

I don't find it disrespectful but I do think it's tacky.
