I keep seeing green backpack FO walking around our domiciles. At first I thought maybe he lost his bags, but this is the 4th or 5th I've seen him and I realize how bad it really looks. I'm no uniform stickler, but it reminds of the interview question about TMAT when you had to talk to an FO about uniform compliance.

Oh, THAT guy. They tried to fire him for that, BTW, on grounds of general stupidity. But he went right back to the manuals and showed them there was no guidance about how to keep your airplane out of the mud while using narrow taxiways.
Common sense, "airmanship", whuzzat?
They then inserted that guidance into the FOM.
(Since hey, he never had to consider that in a -172!)
Idiot.
The company knows who he is; I think he's compensating for his grain of rice.

I feel your pain; (it goes away in the left seat). ;-)

Was he single strapping or double strapping? I'm just kidding. I'm just trying to remember what movie this is from. 21st jump street maybe?

Always double strapping it. I forgot to mention he's always looking at his iPhone with earbuds in. I can't wait to fly with him. Then I'll be known as that tool CA who made me get a different bag.

I used to fly with a guy who carried and old school leather brief case. The kind you carry like 10s of thousands of dollars in.

He carried a change of boxers. A white shirt. A pair of running shoes.

For 8 days.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This to me sums up this entire thread.

Just about as bad as the pilot I saw in IAD strolling into the airport wearing GRAY sneakers. Oh, and he had a gray backpack to match.

Maybe, just maybe he has foot problems BUT for Christ's sake, wear black sneakers so at least you don't stick out like a sore thumb.

Please tell me this is TH...if so, then yes...def TOTD material.

I used to give him the "Next Leg Undefined Checklist" when a 'No Link' was NXT in the box (it pops up as a message, I'm sure you know). It's in the redbook...and if we're going to be exactly standard, well, then he was going to read every checklist I could call for.

I pack pretty light, but that's gross.
