Similar thing happened to me a few years back. Went to the liquor store in uniform and a fellow customer made the usual inquiry about the booze. My response… “My F/O is a Johnny Walker Blue guy, and I’m a Grey Goose guy.”

I'm convinced they think that simply because I'm a pilot, I can just walk up to any airline and tell them I'm going to come to work for them. While I'm at it, I'll make them pay me $400k a year. And on my days off, I'll quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. Tony Romo always chokes anyway.

I got sick of it too...so I applied just to satisfy the general public...and got hired. There...now everyone is quiet.

I've been mistaken as a bell hop

I was mistaken for a person dressed up as a pilot once.

The hotel I was staying at a hotel in Atlanta that had one of these Dragon-Con (SP?) conferences, its thousands and thousands of SCI-FI fans dressed as their favorite characters. You can even join like Darth Vaders 510th legion or something. But we walked in there in uniform and a few thought we had come dressed up as airline pilots, but most just smiled and made light of the fact we were staying at the hotel during the event.

I think you can get in free to those kinds of events if you go in character. Sounds like a good time to me!

So how many have been outside waiting on the hotel van only to have someone ask to get their bags to the checkin point? I made 5 bucks one day, slinging bags into the trunk of a car, they don't know what they don't know.;)

Don't get caught taking that tip, some of those valets have unions. There was a big stink in BOS couple of years ago over some issues with those guys, can't remember details but it got pretty serious.
