We used to have a hat "hall monitor" in the chief's office at NWA - he could have had is retirement party in a phone booth and had room to spare.

Sure it wasn't one of our esteemed RJ "partners?" It always struck me as funny that we spend so much time working on our "image" only to have a bunch of near-clones running around in similar uniforms, flying planes that say "DELTA Connection" on the side, carrying our passengers who were expecting to fly (and probably think they are flying) on a Delta jet. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for leather jackets and no hats, but if I'm going to suffer for the company's image, it would make me feel better if everyone who is presented to the public as a "Delta pilot" was doing the same. I know they think we're all mesmerized by their RayBan's and blonde tips, but how hard is it to button one button on a single-breasted jacket before heading out in the terminal?
