Default 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?

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?

Default Handshakes

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