in other words, the instructors are so eager to dump their students
for an airline job that they can't wait to put on a look-alike
uniform.... not sure this is the best marketting strategy for
a flight school. I know some people really enjoy uniforms and
badges and stripes and ribbons and such, and it might work with
such segment of the population, but I find it somewhat
disingenuous and I don't buy it. You can present a professional
appearance with the right attitude and demeanor (and a minimum
of personal grooming) without pretending to be what you are not.
