Wait....
Today I took over the gate agent's job and garaunteed a paranoid customer that I would hand deliver his valet checked bag full of expensive medicine totaling thousands of dollars to him, then proceeded to run out into a snowstorm before the jetbridge pulled up, got the rampee to pull his bag first, ran back across the ramp, and managed to be the first to re-walk back onto the airplane from the jetbridge with said precious cargo.
The paranoid passenger with extreme anxiety shook my hand for two minutes, blocking the isle thanking me.
Just because I listen to Hendrix on my breaks doesn't mean I don't provide excellent customer service.
Oh, and sorry, my smartphone makes it really annoying to space proper paragraphs because of its incompatibility. It's not a resume, get over it.

Modern devices had spell check.

Pants freshly pressed, hair neatly combed, I walk through security towards my plane 30 gates away. A flustered passenger locks eyes with me and with heat seeking precision, engages me in conversation.
"Hey where is the Chilis at!?"
I'm sorry sir I'm not quite sure
"MY flight leaves IN 40 MINUTES!, UHG airlines are USELESS" *person stomps away*
This is why we get paid the big bucks to look sharp everyday right?
*ear buds in*

I remember my time at the regional. No backpack or earbuds, but on a 4 or 5 day trip I could count on two reduced rests. My survival hierarchy: sleep, wife, nutrition, exercise, ironing and shaving. If they didn't give me time for 8 hours sleep, I NEVER took that time from wife, nutrition or exercise. If you can't understand why, you are beyond help.

My favorite was an understaffed airline that had schedulers come into ground school and pull pilots out to go fly, without their uniforms on. "Causal Friday" at the training center. IE; guys in jeans and polos going out and flying legacy airline's passengers around with a legacy airline's logo on the airplane.

So, liking a nice watch while wearing a clean pressed uniform and having shined shoes indicates one is a poor stick and rudder pilot? Merry Christmas all.

You must be that guy in the simulator who, following a simulated catastrophic failure of both engines and all electronics, is criticising the crew for flying an unstabilized approach even though they safely put the plane on the ground.

Hey, that's better than being a Pinnacle pilot on an overnight and getting caught wearing NOTHING but flip flops and a big watch

The weirdest thing was trying to remember where I put my pen. I got some nice glares shuffling by passengers down the jetbridge waiting to board. "No seriously, I'm the captain... please let me by."
I'm going to go polish my watch and uniform brass now.
