The station people here call me "Captain." The first few times (while goin' between sim and home) my response was, "Me? Oh."

Very strange.

Probably because you were wearing your uniform and captain epaulettes

You wore 4 stripes to captain training?

Around here, you wear them once you're done with ground; this is the practice.

Shuttling to and from sim. (My three-stripe boards were in a box somewhere.)

Lol. I was making sure you saw my sarcasm tag. Thanks for the bio 101 refresher though

While my replies to you and @JordanD were true. The whole point of the post was obviously a bad joke. Lol. I'd explain it, but if you have to explain a joke...

Audience and such.

One can also just wear civilian clothes.

Or show up the first day of Indoc, in a suit. Right?

I'm aware of that. I also don't want to have to commit a criminal offense to keep my toothpaste should I be randomly selected at KCM.

I don't think I've ever taken a deadhead in plainclothes. I certainly "may," but usually it's to-from a flight assignment anyway.

or you know just slacks and a polo

Nah. You're in flight help gives me lots of free stuff in uniform. I wouldn't get that in slacks and a polo. Still a regional shlub. Don't like paying for snacks

FINISH HIM!!

Or preboarding, which gets denied if not in uniform. Which turns into a huge pain in the ass if you have to check your bag, and re-enter security (when your flight gets in AFTER KCM closes) to go back to the employee lot to get your car.

 

[Autothrust Blue]

What?

I said, I don't want to have to commit a criminal offense to keep my toothpaste if selected randomly at KCM.

It'd suck to lose my toiletries and that's a clear and present danger if you get flagged out of uniform.

I travel in uniform, I've noticed I just get treated better by the crew, gate agents and the like as well. Not the TSA though I get held hostage in SAT the other day because they said my hands were blocking my pockets when I went through the detector. Had to go back through, but the "officer" made me place my hands all the way out and then I was processed for additional screening in uniform. It is what it is, the guy was just a complete tool about it all.

I was thinking more "what country you from?"

They play patriot games with you unless you're wearing your hunt for red October uniform. Dealing with TSA really is the sum of all fears.

When dispatch gets creative with an alternate you need to make sure you're authorized to use it.

Interesting. Can't say I ever considered that. I certainly wouldn't be looking at/thinking about that when I'm in the air, but I can kinda see how that could come in to play before leaving.

You are the only carrier, even 121, that I have ever heard of that has this.

It's required in our ops specs.
