When a pilot pops his head in and says "hey guys I'm bob with xyz, they gave me a seat in back, here's my ID and the captain copy slip" are you guys really saying "Whoah Whoah Whoah ice man let me see your medical and atp"? For the record I always have it ready to go but in my experience this has been like 1/100.

He escorted me into the flight deck and thoroughly inspected all of my documents and then said I was ok. Not saying this guy was TOTD but really??
Now, admittedly, if we have a guy that we know from our company jumpseating on our own metal, I've never seen a CA ask the dude for his credentials. But if the CA doesn't know you personally? All kinds of Fed nonsense could ensue if he skips the credentials check.

That will make you looke differently at pilots who wear the hat
