    IMHO I believe there sould be standardized or restricted attire for ATC personnel, pilots, security, agents, and anyone else that falls under FAA jurisdiction. I wonder if you've realistically evaluated your motives and the relative importance of a kilt in your particular workplace.

    I can tell you right now... if I'm on an inbound flight to a busy airport, I would prefer that the tower personnel was concentrating singularly on air traffic and not on kilts or fashion freedom issues.

    Sorry... I agree with the FAA management on this one!

    Feds...

    As a fellow Federal employee (US National Park Service Ranger GS-5), I have to agree with Blu and Bob C. on this one. No offence, but when you work for Uncle Sam, you have to play by his rules. As much as I would have loved to have seen a USNPS tartan to wear with the "grey and greens", I knew that it's not going to happen, and besides, the NPS uniform is just that -- a uniform, and as a ranger, I have to follow the regs.

    Besides, as you said -- no one is going to see it anyway -- so save it for off-duty when someone will!

    Regards,

    Todd

    I've worked as a welder many years ago on DOE sites. I was told there's a right way, a wrong way and the Governments way.
