Isn't that the Chief Pilot?

Most people probably wouldn't know he was a pilot. If he isn't in uniform who really cares? Ps. A lot of sju people love Ricky Martin

I think the flight bag with all the stickers with eagle planes gives it away. Because he represents and cheapens our profession. A lot of people liked Boy George too.

He had the cursive writing on his lower neck along with some numbers on his chest. Gangster or just plain trashy.

I don't want to mislead people. That's why I have a Gangnam Style tattoo on my neck.
