I finally got something to contribute today. Driving in heavy Metroplex traffic, some jackass cuts me off in his very chick-like Mercedes convertible and proceeds to drive very slow. While normally a tool-ish maneuver, what put the icing on the cake was his car had Embry Riddle plates on it.

...on the erj and obviously only I and the captain were in front, while suddenly a stench circulates inside the flight deck. I know it didn't come from me, so i look at him and he acts like he smells nothing!!! MAN UP and claim it, especially if it makes your eyes water !

Only a 70% chance?
Well, I've heard that 95% of statistics are made up on the spot, and 60% of the time, it works every time!
And 90% of Winning is 50% preparataion...or something like that!

I absolutely have no problem with people in the military, as I am too, wearing their formal dress to formal events. I just don't see a Regional (or Major for that matter) airline uniform being enough for a formal event.
My bad if I didn't explain it well enough in my first post.

P.S. You're not a "tool". You work for SWA!! Just ask TSquare, nobody that works for SWA is a tool!!

My bad too there GJ. While I still think it was a tad bit confusing I now see what you were saying. I would never wear my airline uniform anywhere but work. For some reason my Dad wanted to be buried in his airline uniform. Since he was retired AF who was I to argue.

One guy spent the entire three day trip doing nothing but telling me stories about all the different threat info they get from their FFDO website. This guy's whole life was defined by all the things he was afraid of. I finally had to just cut him off and tell him I didn't want to hear anymore of it. Got pretty quiet after that.
