Can't carry a screwdriver - TSA rule - so can't access the panels as in the past -

A professional what? When all of the art and fun existed we where paid more, treated better, stayed in nicer hotels, etc. Now everyone runs around being professional underpaid, slandered, treated like crap, etc.

The pics are still there. Not as plentiful and you need to know where to look.

Nice to know that on a certain 40 year old fleet at a certain soon to be rebranded legacy carrier, that most pilots still know how to hide a picture or two.

Then again, there's also "Cornbread likes gerbils" graffitti...

One of the funniest things I ever found in a cockpit was a wooden 12" ruler. Why it was there I had no idea. It was stashed in the co-pilots side chart pouch. I pulled it out and looked at it. All of the pilots had placed a dash at a certain length along with their name. What was so funny is that Carol's name was at the 10 inch point. I couldn't stop laughing.

Thanks for defining professionalism in aviation there Mr Morality. Let me guess, you just turned 22 and you've got the pilot thing all figured out. Or, your actually old and never did catch on. Let me direct your attention to some of the most professional, golden-handed, pilots to grace the skies - and, to whom the existence of this profession is owed: The army air corps pilots of World War II. They didn't have to hide the pictures in the cockpit - because they painted it on the nose - outside, for the world to see.

Here's the deal Jimmy Swaggert: the same people who are attracted to flying jets (and determined to fly them better than anyone else - ie, professionally) and seeing the world while doing it, just so happen to be the same who are not always concerned with your easily hurt feelings. So, if you don't like it, don't look. Stay in your room and watch PBS. But, don't think you can define professionalism in driving airplanes the same way you do in jobs at zero knots and zero feet - ie, management.
