I suppose the more amazing part is that not one single person asked me a question about flying. Maybe you should stop stereotyping. If we all did that, I can easily assume you walk around the terminal in unshined shoes, no blazer, wearing sunglasses with your backpack on while bopping to the music blasting from your earbuds. BTW, nice frosted tips. Clearly this is who you are, since you're an RJ driver.
Well, you and I have been around this board long enough to know that I am a Military guy and know how to wear a uniform. I also despise wearing one anytime I don't need it.
As far as being miserable, you should know coming from the Coex tradition that taking shots at rookies is one part exercise in truth, another part sport. You know, from the countless hat threads on the Crackpipe. And yes, it took every bone in my body to not turn this into a hat thread
.
You haven't been around the Regionals for the while, so may also not notice the trend of uniform pants altered into "Skinny jeans" style, and guys wearing a t-shirt and uniform pants to the bar...lady killers.
PS., you may also be a dork, but at least the lanyard look is better than the clip-pinching polo shirt look. And somehow it looks less dorky on a Delta guy, since most of them are old enough to look like they work in management and could be working. I'm at a loss for why keeping your ID in your front pocket is so revolutionary...pax manifest show's who's a non-rev and I've been treated well without displaying my badge for 8 hours while off-duty.
