But you gotta admit, all of us...and do mean all of us, as youngsters (or even as adults) saw ourselves walking through the jam packed terminal with our white shirts with either 3 or 4 gold strips on the shoulder boards that fitted onto the epaulets, with a black tie, pants, socks and shoes on; pulling our flight bag behind us.

OTOH, if we had on our coats/jackets and were in the boarding area to deadhead, getting something to eat, hailing a cab or waiting for hotel van/transportation with the FA's or whatever....whether a CA or FO...in our minds we would be "standing tall & looking good"!!!
