Slight thread drift here, but my favorite urban legend focused on a probationary American Airlines Pilot. This was in the 90-93 time frame (you never can be sure with urban legends), but the story goes like this:

The probationary pilot was being fired on a minor technical point that was probably related more to the labor unrest and the ability of AMR to fire a probationary pilot to spite APA. The fired pilot asked for reimbursement of his uniform and was of course denied by management.

He made a bee-line for the closest bar in the American terminal at DFW and started pounding back drinks in full uniform. It didn't take long for the suits to show up and demand an explaination. The former employees explaination was simple - I don't work for AMR anymore and if you'd like to buy this uniform I can sell it to you for $2500. The urban legend ends with AMR buying the uniforms at a nice profit to the former AMR pilot.

At Continental Express, in the mid-90's, we had guys wearing their uniform to pick up their food stamps. True. The company tried to fire them. New hire FO's were paid LESS than the FA's. About $11/hr.
