You don't feel special enough, strutting around in your uniform? There needs be some secret handshake?

It's not a frat. School's out. It's a job. You're another dime-a-dozen putz headed to work, and that's it.

How about a ticker tape parade? Maybe a flashing sign that says "look at me, I'm a pilot?" Maybe a beanie with a propeller on top in case anyone doesn't get the hint from the uniform?
