I hate to keep beating this dead horse, I just saw a younger looking f/o in PHX the other day in full uniform with rollerbag and flightcase. He was wearing a backpack which, honestly doesn't bother me. What irritated me was the fact that he had his skate board strapped to it. Just my 2 cents, but I thought it looked extremely unprofessional.
Don't worry, that skateboard isn't for skateboarding purposes like you would think... it's the poor guy's bed to lay across the aisle to connect the seats at Mesa... "Motel Mesa." :smash:
