I'm a flight instructor who wears a pilot uniform (my flight school requires the instructors to wear the uniform). I go to many public places in my uniform on my way to and from work. People ask me all kinds of funny questions: "Are you a cop?" or the best one I've gotten is "Are you a boat captain?". That question always makes me feel like I'm Gopher or Captain Stubing or something. I think to myself, "I'm not wearing shorts for crying out loud." It's a riot. But I'm not embarrassed.

My Uniform Makes Me Important..
 

I use my uniform to jump to the front of the line at:

Security checkpoints
Boarding
Restaurants
Urinals

Me too. Sometimes I have to push someone out of the way, which gets awkward and messy, but my three stripes say "this guy's not going to wait."

Which management team do you work for? I wish it were that simple. By the way toilet duck has a "hello kitty" backpack and i think it worked out okay for him at republic.

I just love it when someone comes up and asks for directions at the airport...I'm usually just as lost as they are! I have also had people come up to me in the lobby of the hotel and ask me to get their bags!

Haha. Thats great =)

I always feel bad when I'm at an airport I don't know, and passengers come up asking where so and so terminal or gate is. I usually just have to look up and theres a big sign with where to go, but I try to help out. I imagine for passengers that rarely go to an airport, it could be a bit over-whelming.

I've seen a captain wearing it too. :eek:

I had a kid walk up and use the bubbler (water fountain for you guys outside of WI) next to me and say "Hello Officer" to me. I was wearing my full ramp uniform: orange vest, dirty blue fall jacket, blue pants, brown steel toed boots, a knit hat and my ear protection.

:confused:they shouldnt. LDS missionaries dont dress like that, they are much more PROFESSIONAL(;)) looking in full black suits then a stripped down uniform and more clean cut then many of todays "younger" pilots. Nice try but completly inaccurate.

Hmmmmm, then are there fake missionaries going around? The last set I saw, yesterday, were not wearing the suit jacket. It was also around 85 F.
