Easy pal! My comment was clearly (I thought?) tongue in cheek. There IS a "Cool of the Day" thread which is clearly more appropriate for your story.
Seems like a lot of folks are wound WAY too tight in here and taking all the fun out of this thread.

I saw something similar at the Udvar-Hazy Museum at IAD when I was killing time during an extended airport sit. No less than FOUR pilots in full uniforms strolling around the exhibits. Granted, it is very close to the airport and easily accessible by public transit. And full disclosure: they had done probably the same "ditch the bags in the crew room quick and catch the bus" routine i had done. But for the love of Pete, at least have the decency to loose the epaulets, brass and ID!

I'd probably cut them a break if they're that close to the airport and probably on duty.
If they're on an overnight, yeah that's toolish.

Many airlines have policy against partial uniforms. I've been unable to ditch the suit in the crewroom at several hubs because you can't get from the crew room to the terminal (or back) in civvies without a SIDA badge. My solution to that is carry a civilian jacket to cover up the bling once outside security.

I get your point but I think they still get a sideways look and only half a break.
