People really do have no clue. Twice I've been stopped in an airport, in uniform, with the phrase "excuse me but do you work here?"

Only other pilots notice other pilots commuting out of uniform. The signs are obvious to us. To the general public, though? I bet maybe 1 out of 100 pax would notice the bags, the crew pants and the pullover / polo.

That said .. Can we all please just stop walking around in civvies (ie on leisure travel, in jeans and T shirts) with our crew badges displayed? What is up with that? (I don't mean UA people specifically. I mean everyone).
