Great anecdote from today's New York Times piece on the ongoing battle between the Federal Aviation Administration and air traffic controllers over everything from staffing levels to work rules: A controller at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport recently went to work in lime green pants, a clashing brown jacket, and hair dyed blue to protest a new dress code. At other airports, male controllers have appeared in dresses. The dress code, the paper reports, prohibits jeans, T-shirts and "shirts with big lettering." It also generally requires that controllers not appear "disheveled."
