Is This You?

Just to, you know, not get an off-duty pilot fired for doing something that isn't illegal, you may consider blurring his face.
 
Okay. I confess. It was me in my rent-a-pilot uniform. The wife and I were at the hotel bar playing pilot-picks-up-hot-socialite.

Hey . . . it was our anniversary. What do you expect?
 
Long sleeves? Stay classy. :D

I'm with dasleben.

In a pilot uniform drinking. I think throwing on the T-shirt out of your grip would have been a better idea. Or at least take the stripes off.

"Grip." Silly rail guys. :) (You are, of course, right. It would have been really interesting to know if he'd asked if they had a flight crew discount...)
 
What the hell's wrong with long sleeves?! It's freakin' cold in Montana in the winter and I've got Southern blood! Give me long sleeves with my sweater and blazer. :)

May be its apple juice? I wouldn't post someone's picture in a forum regardless of whatever action they are caught in. There are privacy laws and you posted his picture with out his permission. And if he sees this picture, he has every right in this world to go after your tush.

i don't think so...he's in public.

FYI...no pilot should be at a bar wearing the uniform, you're just asking for trouble.
 
As unprofessional as it is for a pilot to be drinking in uniform like that, it is certainly not a good thing to take pictures and post them around the web. It is nothing personal it just isn't a good idea.
 
What's going on with society where a guy can't get off work and enjoy a cold beer without getting his picture posted on the internet, and getting tried in internet professionalism court by the airline professional police.

cheers
 
I'm just wondering about the rest of the story.

I mean, surely the OP confronted the transgressor about his conduct (oh, and the bluetooth thingie too).

Or is that in a thread of its own?
 
I was at a memorial service for a deceased pilot friend some years back. Her family asked that fellow pilots who attended the ceremony come in uniform. Sitting in a church full of pilots was a little odd. Sitting in reception later were EVERYONE (her CP included) was enjoying cold Bud and recounting memories was both odd and heart warming at the same time. It was quite an amazing evening.
 
When he walked in he went strait to the bar. I figured that he was either there to pick someone up or order a pizza, so no worries. A few minutes later a patron made the comment "I hope that he is not flying today". I turned around to see him lifting a beer to his mouth. Sorry, but I had to ask him why he felt it necessary to wear his uniform in a bar while consuming an alcoholic beverage.

Airline Professional Police?? I am tired of passengers making reference to us like we are drunken, uneducated, unsafe and unprofessional nitwits. Those of you who deadhead much know what I am talking about. If you don't see the problem with what he was doing then you must be hanging out in bars, wearing your uniform as well.

He makes all of us look bad with this sort of behavior. I have no sympathy for him when someone posts his picture.
 
I did a LSE trip with a IOE CA, he had a newhire F/O with him, and when we got to the hotel on the first night we said, "okay, be downstairs [at the bar] in 15!" 15 minutes later the CA and I were already in people clothes, at the bar, first drink in hand and who walks in but the brand-spanking new F/O in full uniform completely oblivious to the stares he was getting as he walked towards us waving. The CA jumped up, grabbed his arm and walked him back out where I watched the polite but "educational" exchange where the new guy was told that unlike the military, it was NOT okay to go into a bar in a airline uniform... to his defense he was former military and it was his first civilian flying job, but still. Oiy!
