YX, CQ and S5 still all carry 40 pounds of Jepps around with them from crew room to plane to hotel. Everyday. IPads are coming but so is Christmas..... God bless....

Only pilots would spare 3 seconds to care whether other pilots are using a backpack or not. I mean short of it being pink and having hello kitty on it I can guarantee not one single passenger gives a flying flip.

Ever see the movie mean girls? Well uniform on those girls and you'd think you were in a crew room.

When the roll-aboard bags first came around apparently the same arguments were made. Meh, a bag is a bag. If your uniform is pressed, and you act professionally, who cares? A backpack on one shoulder with an iPod headphone coming out one side is not professional.

Backpacks are specifically prohibited by the Pilot Policy Manual where I work.

Well, that's a case where a dumb rule is a rule nonetheless and ought to be followed. C'est la vie.

Fine, but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule. There's a big difference in a backpack attached to a bag and one draped over one shoulder with your blazer on.

Rules is rules...more or less, anyway. (I'm not sure anyone has read them in as much detail as much as I have, but that's another issue.)

Every time I go back and read The Rules I'm surprised by at least one thing that I either never noticed before or had forgotten about.

Come talk to me at the end of a 24 hour duty day that required a crew load.

Les Abend. Seriously. I remember reading an article about him commuting into JFK and then shaving again because he had an hour before his flight.

Keeping calm, Chiving on.
Have you seen the dude's 'stache? If he didn't manicure it when he had the chance he would likely get intercepted on his way to the gate and asked about diabeetus and how good Liberty Medical can really be.

This guy was a sticker for appearance standards too, and he steamed across his own towline and cut it—amongst other things—while obsessing about minutia. (His predecessor was a red-hot ship handler that let the place be run like it was the hooligan Navy, for those who are unfamiliar with this movie/the book.)
Somewhere between Captain Queeg and Captain de Vriess is a happy medium, is my thinking.
My company tells me not to in uniform, so I don't.
Why? Never crossed my mind.
If I ever get fired, it's going to be for a far better reason than not following some simple policy. Doesn't matter if it's fair or not.
