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....
Rollaboard, flight case, lunch case, gun case, camera case, shave kit, nasal cpap bag, chipotle bag, and the hat. Yeah I've flown with that guy.
I know nothing.Omg you work for a certain Dayton based airline and flew with a certain CA. That totally outed it, lol

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.

Now we are defending the backpack. That's it. I'm officially old.
Backpacks are specifically prohibited by the Pilot Policy Manual where I work.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.
Well, that's a case where a dumb rule is a rule nonetheless and ought to be followed. C'est la vie.Backpacks are specifically prohibited by the Pilot Policy Manual where I work.

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.)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.
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.(I'm not sure anyone has read them in as much detail as much as I have, but that's another issue.)
A professional pilot should always look presentable:Perhaps it’s a generational thing, but too many times I have seen pilots looking like slobs with messy wrinkled shirts, 5 o’clock shadows and iPods permanently attached to their ears in the FBO and in some cases, terminals. What kind of image does this send?/
The 5oclock shadow thing. Does anyone "re-shave" during the day?
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.
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.
