I understood.

I have seen pilots with backpacks on their shoulders. Many strapped to their bag. I wasn’t referring to you.

Many many with sunglasses on their head and a few super douches with them backward on their head. Even out of uniform backward is douchey

So can I ask why would you never "obviously" do that when you're still on duty?

Whatever your answer is for that is the same answer for when you are in uniform in an airport but off duty.

This actually happened once, because I don't commute. I finished my flight at Oakland, parked the plane, and walked to my gate to catch my flight. With uniform, and listening a podcast. No drama

32, total aggrement with op. I think it looks unprofessional but what irritates me most is that in our day in age people can’t go without some sort of external stimulation. Just walk. Also hate heads down people walking while texting.

This was the third time I’ve seen guys do this. It takes a lot to irk me, but this one really does. It just seems extremely unprofessional and makes us all look bad. Ear buds were bad enough!

I’m a big fan of using them while on a deadhead or commute to keep my sanity, but while walking from gate to gate? Come on!

Maybe I’m just getting crotchety and old. That is all.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

The idiot will never hear you coming when you roundhouse him in his junk.

Jeezus man, are you that desperate for something in your ears that you must listen to a podcast to walk gate to gate??? How pathetic!

I'm not a 121 guy yet, but I've been known to walk through the terminal with headphones on connected to nothing just because I don't want someone to try talking to me... In my case I just want to hear nothing.
