That's OK when you're in your seat. Same with sunglasses or even a pillow if it helps you rest. But don't walk through the terminal wearing any of that.

I could but I would rather listen to an audio book than all the babble going on around me.

Is it ok to sleep in the terminal? Floor or no floor.

You’re right. In my life before the airlines when I was flying back and forth between BWI and DFW on a weekly basis in first class my 5.11 rush backpack was coyote, not black. Best briefcase I ever owned. My FOM says black luggage, so I have a new one in that color.

But I should probably get rid of my black backpack that matches my luggage works and replace it with a leather jepps case that I can cover every inch of with witty stickers.

ill gladly walk through the terminal with an earbud in, talking to my wife and kids as i get exercise walking from one end of A to the other. i think some folks are missing out on the "generation shift" that is occuring

If not wearing your uniform then no problem. In uniform, I wouldn’t even slouch in a chair in public view. I go to the crew lounge if I need to close my eyes.
