I see more AF ones than navy. Most of those are academy ones (which checks).

To me, that’s all the more reason to wear it.

On a similar note, I'm shocked at the sparsity of new yellow bag tags out in the wild.

I've been surprised by that too. Probably 1 out of 10 pilot bags I've seen have them on.

Mine is on my “kit bag” not my actual suitcase, mostly because my cooler bag rides on top of my suitcase. Couple people Ive seen them on whatever secondary bag they have too.

I don't wear a lanyard unless I'm out of uniform commuting, in which case it's the ALPA one. But I do have the yellow bag tag and sticker, plus a DAL pilots don't drink the kool-aid bag tag.

Always use an ALPA landyard, no pin and my yellow tag is in my bag. Can’t wait for a yellow landyard 2026.

If you're out of uniform, why the F are you outwardly wearing your name tag+lanyard? Your incognito cover is blown!

I know company actually states not to display it out of uniform.. but I say don't do it for the same reason you wouldn't wear your hat while seated on your DH.
