If he is having a Gout attack, he has no business working. I'd rather have needles in my eyes.

Maybe he lost his luggage or something?

I flew a revenue flight once in shorts, tee shirt, and tivas. Dropped my kid off to non-rev as a UM and the CA timed out...told they company I'd do it as long as my kid got on and they gave me PS me home. My wife wondered why it took six hours to drop off the kid at the airport.

One day a friend diverted his ANG F-102 to MSY and covered a DC-8 trip in his flight suit. (Things were different back then).

Sometimes it's easy to overlook the little things in a scam.

As was explained, he had gout.

That's hilarious what happened with your kid!

I had similar to your experience at the regional... my uniform was at the dry cleaners and they called for a junior assignment. I explained that, and said I'd be willing to come in... I'll just have to wear business casual. The flight was boarding by the time I got there. The looks from the passengers were amusing as I was trying to make my way down the jetbridge!

Hahaha we had one of those at my old shop! Older guy, was telling me all about the F-18 so naturally I asked him how long he flew the F-18. Turns out he was never in the military and flies the F-18 on his wiz-bang home flight sim set up. Maybe he just really likes Navy football and I made an ill-advised leap of logic.

Picked up a mx ferry with a DH home for some bonus pay. Show up at the airport wearing jeans and a hoodie and call ops to find out where the plane is. It's at a gate, not the mx hangar or remote parking. Weird. Go over to the gate, seems a little crowded. Weird. Get down to the jet and there's a FA in the galley. Weird. Turns out an earlier flight had cancelled so they turned our ferry into a live flight and never bothered to tell the pilots. Definitely got some weird looks from the pax but it was around the holidays and everyone was just happy to get where they were going.

I was sitting in the flightdeck all smug because my crises was diverted with nobody noticing when the F.O. says, hey whats that weird smell??
I say yea uh.. I don't smell it.
Toolish but..he he. I tossed those shoes the next day and went shopping on the layover!
