Funny you’re harping on professionalism but apparently couldn’t be bothered to throw on your uniform to get to work.
Guess I’m a terrible storyteller. As I stated in the original post, the Air whisky guy initially behind me says that he was doing the same as me to the agent. So I guess he knew I was a pilot when he heard my conversation with the agent and goes “ah yeah, I’m doing the same as her.” Maybe our matching stuffed 50# luggage works bag steal bag didn’t give it away. Yeah, I’m a female pilot not in uniform, asking for the jumpseat, so I must not be a pilot and asking about an FA JS. Even if I was in uniform, 50% of the time the gate agent will still assume I’m asking about the FA jump and I have to reiterate the FLIGHTDECK to them si it is heard. Another story for another day. And don’t come to any conclusions, the AirWisc guy even asks me who I work for and if I had already listed, and I tell him, “ah, isn’t it first come first serve?”
