That makes two of us. I like my privacy. I don’t wear any Company apparel, hats, shirts or anything of the sort that may identify me as a Southwest or airline pilot for that matter. I do wear apparel promoting experimental and general aviation because I’m active in both.
But I don’t begrudge those who flaunt what they fly or what they do for a living. They enjoy it, and they’ll be happy to talk your ear off about it. Why put down or mock someone else’s enthusiasm just because you’re not enthusiastic about it? But even more specifically, why is it “cool” to hide the fact that you’re a pilot?
Just like Whack could talk your ear off about his Miata (a total chick car BTW [emoji12]), I’d personally talk your ear off about GA and the world of experimental aviation. Why is one cool and the other mot?
