TOTD: AMR

Not for diversifying feed, that's just business, but they made it personal by taking the American Eagle name from us.

A few years back I j/s on a 767 to ATL. After making the required small talk about who I worked for & what equipment I flew, the FO proceded to bash my regional co. (former) & their pilots & questioned our experience. The irony is that after bragging about the quality of the pilots who came from her former rj employer she proceded to make a flawless touchdown 2/3 down the runway! Even the Captain was squirming in his seat watching that circus show & took the controls immediately after touchdown. Needless to say we turned off on the last taxiway. You ma'am are the TOTD.

I’m more concerned flying with those Arrogant Complacent Egotistical pilots. Yep. Nothing like a good old ACE pilot. :rolleyes:

Having fun strutting up and down the sideline of my son's soccer match? Trying to impress all the high school freshmen? Tool...

Wow......yep, that definitely qualifies as major toolbag.

So if you had the choice to attend your son's game, but had to wear your uniform due to timing, you'd skip the game?
He may be TOTD material to you, but I imagine he's DadOTD to his kid...or not, tough to tell with teenagers. :-)

Yeah but all we're talking about here is removing the eps and tie. Who wouldn't take 5 seconds to do that?

You'd have to think that it has a chance of impressing anyone to consider it a tool move. But over the years, the novelty of having a uniform mostly wears off, and you stop going to bars with white scarves (yes, we had a guy at my former airline that did this). Besides, you can't see a thing with Ray-Ban Aviators in the dark.

For full disclosure, I must be the rare pilot that likes nothing more than to come back from a trip, and "have to" pick up one of the kids. That's because when I do it, I look like a B-A M-F. The shirt hides my drooping gutt, and I'm actually giving serious thought to covering the receding hairline with the hat, but that would definitely not work. At any rate, there is usually some MILF that says "look at you, with your uniform!", and I can get over the fact that they sometimes snort as they say it. Bottom line: they want me. Well, not all of them, but the fat one in the corner does...

So it comes down to this: when I do it, I'm a B-A M-F, and when anyone else does it, they're a tool. That's how these things work. It's made more complicated by the fact a lot of us do it, all of us simultaneously B-A, M-F's, and tools. This conflict never comes to a head unless two of us do it in the same place at the same time, or, worse, some total TOTD gets jealous and puts up a picture of it on the web.

Admit it: you're just jealous this guy is doing it on your turf, during your time to uniform it up... tool.:)
