Pilots with backpacks

[japhy]

I don't work for a regional anymore (went to a fractional), but I do read this section occasionaly. You guys can't give regional pilots anymore cr@p about using a backpack instead of a flight case. While going home today on an American flight, I saw the captain of the plane go through security, come up to the gate and get on the plane while carrying a backpack. No flight case.

Nah ah...we'll just have to add that AA guy to the list too. :smash:

You might as well add every UPS pilot to that list too. We all have backpacks and we don't wear our hats.

Just a group of pilots bringing the industry down. You guys make me sick.

 

[HoursHore]

since Fedex got EFB's and Lido, we all carry backbacks or computer bags.

The people who care are lifers at regionals, I have an IPOD, and you know what? I love it.

I have an ipod and a backpack. I usually take a rollerboard, but some over nights require a back pack. On the west coast I see pilots from every airline with the above mentioned. At LAX the other day I saw a senior AA cpt with a sleaping bag.

I hope you are kidding. If you are serious, you have major issues.

People can do whatever they want. . .but I still think backpacks are a little on the unprofessional side.

Just my .02.

I always say cute backpack when a jumpseater has one

 

[Midnight Flyer]

Screw backpacks.
I'm all about the man purse. That would make me look real metrosexual while strutting through the terminal.

My former roommate was walking down the street with his uniform and a backpack on. He thinks he was mistaken for a mormon missionary.

He thinks he was mistaken for a mormon missionary.

Speaking of Mormon missionaries, did you know those guys aren't supposed to even, er, self-pleasure during their missions, let alone spend any private time with women, if you know what I mean. That's a steep frickin' price to pay for devotion, if you ask me.

I'd say "cute RJ"

When I was a Mormon missionary, I was mistaken for a federal agent.

We are masters of our domain. Actually, you're not supposed to "self-pleasure" at any time, mission or no. It's really not that difficult, unless, of course, you're depraved. Then it might be a little.

Don't mean to highjack the thread, I just know that even Mormon missionaries were told by their leaders that backpacks look unprofessional (with a white shirt and tie) several years ago. It wasn't a huge sticky issue and they seem to not have enforced it. Makes sense to have a backpack over a briefcase when riding a bicyle.

What's our excuse as pilots? Terminals were designed for hauling around luggage on rollers. Come out to the cargo ramp, less public exposure, and more asphalt.... then I can see more backpack usage.

BTW, Ha ha, you said "frickin" when talking about mormons. Don't forget "dang" "shoot" "heck" "gosh" and "fetchin."
