Oh, and KWI these days guarantees you waiting in the 2 hour immigration line and buying a visa if you're not in uniform.

How are you treated "better" for the few minutes you're going through security or immigration that makes the hassle of a wearing a uniform worthwhile? All wearing a uniform does on a paid ticket internationally does is potentially confuse the locals and make it difficult to get into the first class lounge.Incognito is the way to go, IMO. Board the plan, act like a normal passenger, get your drink on and don't plan on answering any calls for help after you've tossed back a few. That would be a huge mistake.

Lanyard on all the time. Especially now that the union has us wearing bright blue lanyards, it’s important that everyone within 500 feet knows who I am. Well, they assume I’m Frontier, but that’s cool.
I also go up to the flight deck and make sure the pilots know I’m there if they need me. Especially if it’s a RJ - I think they appreciate knowing there’s a mainline guy with mainline capabilities in the back.
