I think you are right....unfortunately. When all our uniforms are the same, what will these same folks do? Ignore everyone? Doesn't take much to say hello, and it goes a LONG ways towards building "unity". JMHO of course, so I'll just continue saying hi to everyone.

I just think it's pretty sad when a pilot, regardless of who they fly for, doesn't have the common courtesy to say hello or acknowledge the other pilot. Last week in LAX, my FO and I were walking down a very narrow corridor and a UAL pilot was walking in the opposite direction. It was impossible for them to not see us as they had to move to the side as we passed...... I said "hello United Captain" as they passed. I stopped and turned around to see their reaction. They stopped, looked at me, and gave me a "go to hell" look. Wow....very "unifying" and professional. So, who is the enemy here? Hurt my feelings? Nope, just think it's a strange way of supporting each other since we ARE on the same team, believe it or not.

A pin?
A ribbon?
A red clip?
A bracelet?
The only ones that need ID'd are scabs. Tattoo "SCAB" on their foreheads, that way we all know.

I have seen the same on the CAL side...and I am in a CAL uniform.
