So then on the flip side.. Can a Mesa pilot wear a purple windbreaker and still be professional for what's on the inside?

(Wishing this example wasn't re: Mesa or it might be a tougher question)

Did you wear jeans and a polo to your job interview? I'm guessing no.

I just wore a thong and a low cut V-neck.

Yeah, but I'll bet you that the guy that wears jeans and a polo to work WILL wear jeans and a polo to his next interview.

No. I think we know the difference between an interview and the actual job. You always look your best for the interview.

Don't know of any people that wear suits on a daily basis that aren't management, either. Interview wear and daily wear are generally accepted as different animals. You're comparing apples to oranges, my friend.
