And seriously, "Help our image"
What image am I supposed to portray? I'm a fifth year first officer making $34,000/yr living in the DC area with a $1,000/mo rent, student loans and car payments. LUCKILY at the age of 27 I have decided not to marry and pump kids out.
So I'll walk around the airport with my lunch box and make sure my investment in my laptop doesn't get smashed in my bag. While your mom and dad are buying you an iPad2 for Christmas, ask them to donate one for us! That way we can throw that disposable income in our flight case!
