Biker Wave for Airline Pilots
 
We need some sort of standard wave for airline pilots in passing at airline terminals. Ya know, kinda like Bikers have. Out riding my Harley we have a standard Biker's Wave.

What's airline pilot protocol? - Own metal to own metal, and to other metal. Head nod? Wink? Sad face?

Doesn't Compass already have a standard wave?

You don't feel special enough, strutting around in your uniform? There needs be some secret handshake?

It's not a frat. School's out. It's a job. You're another dime-a-dozen putz headed to work, and that's it.

How about a ticker tape parade? Maybe a flashing sign that says "look at me, I'm a pilot?" Maybe a beanie with a propeller on top in case anyone doesn't get the hint from the uniform?

Edit: Not very funny when I don’t know how to properly post a giph, muhbad.

Great idea. I nominate this as our secret handshake: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral/st...74892928290818

It’s called the “pilot-nod”

Handshakes
 
We already have several - my favorite is “no ASAPs on this trip, ok?”

Yeah exactly, I feel like everyone does the smile and nod, or the occasional "Hey, how're ya doin'".
