I sometimes wear my sunglasses for short periods indoors because they are prescription sunglasses and also because I must be a douche. If you are offended by sunglasses then you are going to have a coronary by age 40

Mine are prescription. Sometimes I just wear them in instead of doing the change-the-glasses-shuffle. :)
But uniform at the airport I take them off, so the public doesn't get the wrong idea. The public doesn't know your shades are prescription, they just think you're dooshy when you do that. |

I might just have to b-slap the next pilot I see wearing their aviators in the terminal.
Is this becoming an epidemic? In PHX, literally passed a SKW FO followed by an AA FO on the moving walkways wearing their sunglasses, and the AA FO with a hat on. It felt like a scene from "LA to Vegas". Then, I arrive home on my commute and there is another pilot in the gate area on his phone texting/facebooking/whatever wearing his shades, too! Whiskey. Tango. Fox. BTW, I hear it is always sunny in doucheville. |

Totally agree with the OP. It’s completley unprofessional and toolish. Take the ^*%#ing ear buds out, the sunglasses off, button your jacket and wear shoes that are at least somewhat clean/polished, and act in a manner that doesn’t cause embarrassment to the profession. Simple concept.

does the public think it is, or is it just us? I would assume the general public, largely, doesn't notice or care.
They also notice slovenly grooming and dress. Millenials may not care, but the older generations who account for 95% of the purchasing power are more inclined to notice stuff like that. |
I really enjoy the the guys with bright colored plastic frames wearing them on the back of their heads when they’re not in use. Put them away and act like an adult

The act of wearing sunglasses indoors might be a little odd, but the true max douche factor guys wear them perched on their brow. Not up on the forehead, or on the nose, but precisely halfway between. There is no excuse for that. It’s the eyewear equivalent of a man bun.
And don’t get me started on the skateboard crowd. The only reason to carry one of those on an overnight is for some adult to hit you in the face with it. Repeatedly. |
My favorite was the CA wearing the sunglasses up on his head in the terminal... at 10pm before starting a night-only trip. Microfiber bags are about $10/dozen on amazon, just sayin.

What about the guys that wear sunglasses on their heads at night whether in a restaurant, bar etc? You know it's going to be dark soon. Leave em in your car!
