A possible sign of a fraudulent pilot is an improperly worn uniform. When a pilot who is asking for your jumpseat appears suspicious in any manner, do what is safest for your passengers.

145 biatch!!! Better recognize!

You're jokin', right? Please tell me you're joking. If not, what you're really letting the world know is that you're a friggin' MORON! I must be getting old. I would either have you; 1) put them on correctly, 2) take them off, or 3) find someone else to fly with.

Pretty sure he was making a joke in reference to the idea some believe the upside down epaulet started with Mesaba pilots who fly "the 9" and want everyone to know. I thought his post was hilarious.

Looked funny to me! Sorry, but I just lost respect for any Mesaba pilots intentionally miswearing their uniforms to one-up their brother and sister pilots. Very unprofessional.

I think the riddle kids have that one figured out... on vacation down there a few years back, I saw two of them walking down the beach in uniform... it was hilarious.
