My captains, chief pilot, check airman and company are more than happy with my no arrogant attitude. Thanks

You’re not an idiot or pathetic.
You just look the part with big over ear headphones on walking around the terminal in your uniform. It’s simple, just wait to don them when you are settled in at the gate or on the plane.
When we are all standing at a picketing event demanding more money and telling the public that a bunch of six figure pilots are under paid and our bosses are unreasonable how do we want our public image to be perceived? Do we want to look like a group of professionals with immense responsibility that should be compensated highly for it, or do we want to look like a bunch of hacks with beats headphones hiding in our safe space?
The country as a whole has grown to hate unions in recent decades due to corporate propaganda. That’s strike one. A portion of the traveling public thinks a computer can do our job. That’s strike two. Displaying an image other than a professional, strong, assertive, person that takes his career extremely seriously could be strike three. You very well can be those things, but the second you put those big headphones on and hang sunglasses off the back of your head it’s not the image they see.
When we go looking for more money whose side do you want the hearts and minds on? We are starting with two strikes.
