Your lanyard and you...

I just have the company lanyard.

The definition of what constitutes professional attire has changed drastically everywhere but here and a few other professions. Take that for whatever it's worth. Appearance is a facet of professionalism but it isn't the entire diamond.

Personally I doubt the paying customer cares whether or not you're carrying a backpack if you got them there on time, or if you didn't get there on time you handled the situation well.

I saw someone walking through SFO today with a full on lumberjack beard, but I didn't get a look at who he worked for.

He sure was rockin' that beard though...

Foreign maybe? I've seen Emirates crews walking through the terminal dressed to the nines with a full beard.
 
@JetDoc

On occasion you may see me toting a tan backpack through the terminal.
If you had enough fortitude to ask me why such a putrid color, I would tell you I'm commuting to drill. You know the military obligatory service as a Guard/Reserve pilot.

Or you could passive aggressively take a picture (In a security line no less) and post it to an anonymous forum.

Come on gents, if you have a question about something you see that you feel isn't right, ask.

Hah, we had a few people in my class that carried those packs and got asked "Oh, you were in the military?" "No...."

It's amazing how many Fortune 500 chiefs dressed up for an important meeting is putting on a sport coat with slacks. I very rarely see any executives with a tie now.

When I started at McDonnell-Douglas it was Shirt, Slacks and Tie in the office, Suit if we had customers or execs in.

Then came the strike in 1996 and we were pulled to man the production line, so ties went away, and never came back post strike

Then came casual Fridays and I saw engineers in spandex bike shorts.....ugh

Here casual Fridays are lots of engineering types in Dora (no kidding), Sheldon, Atari, and Pac Man t-shirts. Thankfully I rarely have customers in the building on Fridays!
 
Here are a few of my "unprofessional" lanyards from my USAF days that I rounded up. The orange one on the right is from the nonprofit I volunteer for, and I used to wear while flying before my current shop set new policy prohibiting it.

Liiike OMG did you SEE the backpack that Sally is wearing? Like SO uncool. And that orange lanyard? BARF. [/teengirlvoice]
 
I was thinking a backpack would be the perfect bag in addition to my rollaboard. Much better for deadheading and holds more while taking up less space in the cockpit.

Ahhh you mean pilot uniform not Military.

There have been at least a dozen times that I've been mid trip and not had a chance to head home. I don't live in the same town as my unit.
