Sunglasses in the terminal
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.

What’s next... jacket not buttoned? Hat not on straight?

I tend to agree aside from the scenarios involving prescriptions, which are likely way less common than just the regular sunglasses choosing to be worn. Sunglasses and earbuds walking through the terminal come off as fairly unprofessional. No, I don’t expect you to hold a sign saying they’re prescription. With many people, you can just.... tell.
And yeah... jacket not buttoned would look sloppy also.

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.
