An uncle (crazy bright guy) graduated from MIT and wore a gold MIT ring. And friends wore military academy rings. For my uncle and my academy friends it seemed like the rings were rapid ways to identify (and maybe authenticate) guys who had a common experience and connection. I never got the sense that they were using the rings as a way to boast about themselves or flaunt their alma mater. Kind of like the rep ties that the British wear so they know who went to which public school without having to say "I went to Oxford." I'd guess that the same is true for the ERAU guys who wear school rings.

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)..."

I was chatting once with one of our colleagues who is of the African-American persuasion.

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.

Outside the old terminal in DTW in my NWA uniform with hat.
Woman: "Officer, that car has been sitting there for over twenty minutes, and my husband needs a place to pick me up. Please make him move!"
Me: "I'm not a police officer"
Woman (chuckling): "Yes you are. Make him move!"
My captain: "That's why I don't wear my hat"
