New Identity Theft Commercial

[I.P. Freley]

Watchin' Comedy Central, and there's a new one of those voiced-over identity fraud commercials (Citibank?)... You know, like the one with the Asian woman mouthing the words of the guy who stole her credit card, f'rinstance, where "she" says "Whooooa, slow down ladies, there's enough 'Larry' for everyone... Huh huh huh..."

Well the new one has a fella sitting in what appears to be a hotel lobby in a generic pilot uniform.

He is, by the look of his uniform, a Captain. Figures.

But in the commercials, the character we see is the victim...and the voiceover is the perpetrator.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'd no idea.

Identity theft?

Finally they realize that pilots ARE the victims! For the last 2 years I've been a regional pilot and my company has stolen my QOL, Days off, income in the form of concessions, and more recently I think my sanity. I know thats not the point of the commercial, but many of us pilots are already unwitting victims.
