Ayep...nothing professional about toting a backpack around in Uniform guys.
And Duck's got a point...PAX don't think we do anything -- that we are on Autopilot from takeoff to landing. What is sad is that in many cases, they are right; they know the skill required to command an early-era Jet is lost in our modern equipment. 99.99% of the time, this is the easiest job in the world.
