Default Commuter airline pilot

Do they know how to iron shirts? The FO had an ipod and walked on the airplane. Had a backpack. The Cap put a baseball cap on. Don't see that on majors. Flight was nice though..lol

Actually, its usually the older pilots, especially at the majors that wear baseball caps to keep their balding dome from frying and to reduce glare.



Be prepared for people to flame the hell out of you on this thread.

why be professional when there isnt professional pay or professional management...only motivations anymore are to not yelled at or kill yourself in the plane.

We just keep beating this horse. Because being professional has nothing to do with how much you're paid. The kid at Target still has to dress the part and he gets paid a lot worse than you do. Just take the backpack and headphones off, it's not like we're asking people to wear their hats and blazers.

Its a $hiit job, lets be honest. Why make the extra effort? dont button my top button, $creew ironing, I use the dryer for the wrinkles and I usually try to shake on my shoes at the urinal to give 'em an extra shine.

Yeah right. I've seen more guys at the majors wearing backpacks and even ipods in the terminal.
