You can’t cover them in stickers like an old school leather flight kit, therefore they are unprofessional. Duh.

I was kinda thinking that might be the case. Cycling wear is the only thing that comes to mind which has pockets on the back like that.

Yes, the only acceptable carry is an awkward box designed expressly to hold Jepp binders, and despite the fact that nobody carries Jepp binders anymore, we should continue carrying the cases around because reasons.

While backpacks are not in my personal taste, as long as they are all black they maintain a professional enough image. This one however is not all black, and in additional to looking unprofessional, I’ll bet it is not in compliance with the FOM.

I’m that guy. I don’t have any manuals in mine, but I bought it when I upgraded, it’s a nice one, it’s full of other stuff and works great. Pilots shouldn’t WEAR backpacks. I kind of wish I had one that was on my hook though. Just sayin...

Why are the soles of his shoes a different color than his shoes? I’m confused. The Skipper has a hat and looks legit. The crossing guard/fly fishing guide FO has got me scratching my head.

Haha. If only the shoe sole color was the biggest issue with this guy

Hey, if you like it and it works for you, that's great. I've got no opinion on what you prefer, nor should I. That was kind of my point.
