What in the hell...

You keep saying "OMG, you all look like Chris Hemsworth" and trying to make it insulting.

Bring it, sweetie. We're so sharp, you can't let it go. I'll swing by your gate, walk on board and tell your flight attendants "Hay gurl".

Really? Have you seen most of his FAs? If not, their painted portrait is on the tail of Alaska...

They're old enough to be your mom. But if that's your thing...

....I'm not here to judge.

Hush! I'm belittling the Wookiee.

 

[derg]

Wow, that sounded far kinky-er than it should have.

Depends on how you define "belittle."

If it has to do with latex and a cat o' nine tails...well...

I dunno. Call @Kristie ?

 

[B767]

It's ok. You guys go down (under water) for like 8 months at a time. I'm sure even a Wookiee looks good after that.

Ya'll just jealous we have no hats, ties, nor jackets.

Y'all look like you are going to go clubbing...

So taking a picture of jumping in the air made him unprofessional?

No, all the other nonsense made him unprofessional. The jumping in the air just makes him a dork, no crime in that.

And to those saying "Whatever but he didn't break any rules", every company I've worked for has a social media policy.

You must be pretty young..

I always love vanilla people making kink jokes. ^.^

Hmmmm........seems almost akin to trying to pick up women in bars by telling them you're a Captain at a legacy carrier flying international routes........

Yeah, @Seggy does that all the time.

Still not over yourself, eh?

As others have said, there's much more that he's done that makes him unprofessional. I guess another question might be, do you think he's acting in a professional manner with that picture?

Maybe, maybe not. To me, taking a picture jumping in the air isn't unprofessional. I've seen plenty of people taking similar photos after passing checkrides, completing upgrade training, their last flight at a regional before getting hired at a legacy. His PAs and heelies through the terminal are unprofessional, but that's about it. I personally don't see the concern here why all this is a big deal. If someone is really that concerned about it, reach out to him and talk to him about his conduct. Don't blast him on the Internet and potentially ruin his career over it. I don't even know the guy personally, nor do I know what he had to go through to get where he is today. I've physically seen pilots doing way worse things. I thought part of being a professional pilot meant we help each other out, we motivate each other, and if somebody is slipping we put them back on course. Not embarrass or poke fun at them.

Guess I'm hanging out with the wrong people. In 21 years of airline flying, regionals included, I've never seen a single, solitary person ever jump in the air for a picture aftr accomplishing anything posted above. I have had almost every one say something to the effect of, "Thank God that's over. Let's go get a drink."

Maybe it's generational. If I ever did see anyone do that, I'd probably just SMH, and walk away.

At least your pilot's don't get asked if they are out on medical leave when trying to jumpseat on the mainland because they are sporting a Captain Haddock beard.
