I just don't get that size of flashlight, we have far superior, while cheap, like a few bucks cheap...aka...pilot style. One AA and you are set for 6 months!!!

Then again I don't understand being a wanna be pilot, while being a doctor on a pilot forum, bashing our programs when you can only afford a 182. I flew for a neurosurgeon and he could afford a king air plus a bunch....must be a sorry cardio doc I guess....

What about the reflective vest?

Requirement at airports overseas and many in the U.S. Airport fashion police are can be ver persnickety if a crewmember is seen without the high-vis vest. Some airport officials will tag you if you don't wear noise defenders too:eek:.

Yes, ALL crew members have to wear them at overseas airports. In fact, ours is a required item to have on us at all times.

Yeah... A few carriers I worked for in Euroland, Central America and Asia issued them to us as part of our uniform set. Truly makes a fashion statement ;).

You are tool of the month for writing this. So this guy is exuberant and a little over the top. B f d. How can you possibly equate these two? It says a lot about you that you think these two deserve the same fate.

I take great offense to the way he publicly embarrassed our profession on a repeated basis. Using wheelie shoes while in uniform through the terminal. YHGTBFKM! Seriously?!! Yeah, I do think he needs to be stoned. Sue me......
