Funny, one of your CAs today in front of me at KCM was wearing a backpack, loudly chewing gum, rocking out with headphones, and sporting black Reeboks. Glad to see you guys don't 'settle'....

 

Well that's ****ty. Most of the guys are very professional. Part of it is the Socal attitude and there were some growing pains but most people seem to have fallen in line.

 

Great story. And I guarantee you that's BS. Come up with something better kid.

 

I'm probably older than you, and the story is true. Just this morning.

 

You don't think compass has some of those guys?! Every airline does!

 

Pics or it didn't happen

 

Compass, only the best of the best!

 

At least he was wearing Reebok's and not LA Gear's....

 

The only reason I posted that (well, two reasons actually):

1) It actually happened, just this morning

2) More importantly, I posted it because I'm trying to show you how silly it sounds for you to toss around terms like "Compass material" or "Skywest material." We're all pretty much the same, whether you work at Skywest or GoJets or Compass or, heck, even United. Of course, the double-breasted jacket guys at DAL likely think that they're better than everyone else, but please...we're all just pilots, no higher or mightier than anyone else.

Every airline has guys like the CA I saw today. Skywest certainly does. And so does CZ.

I could post the flight number this guy was operating (we were parked 3 gates down and there's only one Eagle-branded CZ flight operating out of that particular airport this morning) but that'd just be silly and inflammatory.

 

Remember folks,at the end of the day only airplane drivers care about what other airplane drivers are wearing. The general public could give two ****'s whether you are rocking a backpack or pulling your 40lb flight case down the terminal. All they care about is the cheapest ride from point A to B.
