I never minded the "are you a pilot" inquiries. That's an easy smile, "yes," and carry on.
When I taught in the sims, the lanyard said "Delta Pilot Training." The amount of times I got "oh good luck, I hope that works out for you!" was pretty funny. Once or twice I was like "oh, I actually give the training," but for the most part it was just a "thanks, me too."

I think all class rings are toolish, just my opinion. I just dont understand why a 4 year degree is something you always need a constant reminder of, always there to look at on your finger.

He couldn't count the number of times he would be waiting on the curb in front of the terminal for a hotel van, and a passenger would drop his bags at his feet saying, "I'm going to Orlando (or wherever)..."

Haven't checked snopes, but there was a legend at our airline.
Black Captain with crew waiting for PU, guy drops bags, tips him well. CA bought every round at hotel.
Probably same story at PA/DL/AA/US/BN/EA/.......on and on.
As for uniform, too lazy to remove crap outside hat and uniform coat for quick stops or eats.(Tie and ID are optional). Some here seem to have some mental condition about the slightest display outside the airport such as quick stops.
I am in agreement about guys wearing the full uniform at longer functions for no other reason than personal vanity.
