We have all seen the pilots wearing their ipods, backpacks, epaughlets backwards because they fly the "9", and spikey tipped frosted hair but this is a new one. Saturday morning while walking through the terminal I saw some regional guy in full uniform with his basball hat on backwards walking through the terminal. I dont even have words for this. Oh well.
 
Unfortunately, nothing surprises me in the terminal anymore. Self-pride and professionalism are things that don't exist with "Generation Me."

Two weeks ago capt and I saw a United pilot wearing a baseball hat in full uniform right there in the middle of the terminal. Capt say's to me " you don't do that unless your trying to make a statement". Point is they are at the regionals and majors.
 
Each time one of these "outrageous" uniform violations happens I try to copy it in order to piss off the old guys. It's cheap fun for me.

So I've been walking down the terminal with the ipod, backpack, spiked hair, doc martins, and crap are you serious. I now have to wear a ball cap the wrong way.

Climbing on the van with some disgruntled 58 year old regional captain who can't even hold a good schedule... Then having him explain pride and self worth to me... that makes it all worth while.

I had a United captain non-rev on my flight last year in full uniform, wearing a baseball style Obama hat.
 
I would have walked right up to him and said you're a public mockery to this position and obviously common sense challenged by you deteriorated morale. But then again, I'm an a$$hole.
 
I see lots of guys (express and mainline) walking around in uniform minus the tie.

Either commuting home, or waiting on the hotel van.

Hat or no hat, at least wear your tie.
 
I'm still eagerly awaiting the "paper bag on the head" from a Mesa pilot.
