Standing in line at SIDA badging office at ORD.
Younger pilot a few people ahead has a white large sticker, ONLY sticker on the front of his flight bag.
White large Sticker, the kind you see on mirrored mudflaps on 18 wheeler trucks.
Is this the kind of message we want to send our passengers?
Would the company be jiggy with this sticker?
I am NOT the uniform police, but seemed in total bad taste.
If someone from management from my airline saw this, I think a carpet dance would follow.
Thoughts?
 
Every time I think my fellow pilots are stupid, or adolescent, or whatever, I just remember the general state of ROT this industry has brought on.

I can't even imagine what sort of person would go to flight school dreaming of being an airline pilot these days.
 
I saw a Mesa guy in STL with a South Park backpack... I on the other hand do have an I "heart" strip searches bag tag.
 
Professional, perhaps not. Funny as all hell, yes. OTOH, a guy at my company was told to remove the "Sex Wax" sticker from his flight bag to appease the "old ladies who fly on us." It was surounded by a festoon of other stickers, he just put a another little sticker on the "Sex" part. Of course the pilot (coolest guy ever to hang out/fly with) also had a chaindrive wallet and frosted hair.

Shoot, I still cruise around with my Jeppessen Navigator bag, the ultimate choice for convenience and flexibility. Sweet stickers don't stick to my bag.

probably along the lines of:

"I will act like a professional when they pay me like one"


aka: the eternal standoff.

total dead horse.

Oh brother get a life
 
Seriously who cares? There is nothing wrong with stickers on a flight bag. Gives it personality. If thats all you have to complain about then wow, whats your secret? And are they hiring?
 
Acting

Who cares what sticker is on the flight bag.
I like the Breakfast of Champions with a pic of two people 69ing.

We are blue collar workers told to act like white collar and paid like
we work in a fast food restaurant.
 
I wonder if Paul F over at Mair Holdings ever know his name would live forever on the flightbags of XJ pilots. And in the MM1 cans, and on the lav toilet seats, and thoughout our ops areas, and... Tickled pink every time I think of it.

That was the best statement ive seen!

and as far as the flight bag stickers??, well what do you expect from a bunch a young people "flying shiny new jets"?
 
There's a pilot at my airline running around with a huge picture on his kitbag of a flaming airliner headed in a firey ball towards earth. Funny in the crewroom or away from "nonpilots" but I can see where people would be upset.

I just put "iffy" stickers on the inside of my bag..simple as that.

And how much money were you making at your previous job, ya' know, the one you had before you decided to fly a "shiny new jet"? At least we youngsters have our age an an excuse! ;)

I have a euro sticker on my bag with a big "YS" and "Yankees S*ck" in small letters on it. That, along with the "OUR PILOTS CARRY LESS THAN $20 CASH" sticker, gets a few chuckles through the terminal.

I'm still looking for a "LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER" sticker but haven't had much luck.

My favorite sticker is the remnants of the the sticker peeled off of all of the Delta guys where the "United Plus 1, nothing else" used to be. I'd bet mgmt would gladly give them that now.

Who's funny?

Mookie is!

That is a classic, sir.

The universal truth is simple: Airline pilots will whine regardless of which way the trend is going! (Myself included)

On topic: I expect people to treat me like a professional, so I try to look like one. If they choose not to, it won't be because I gave them a valid excuse.

I personally find the female form to be very attractive, but every time I see those mudflaps of that woman in a sexually suggestive position, I think of what a woman would think of them. What if the situation was reversed, and it was a silhouette of some guy standing at attention with an erection? I think most guys would find it repulsive. I'm not the morality police, but let's act like gentlemen and just leave all the sexual innuendo away from work.

By the way, did anyone see the movie North Country?

I am gonna patent that sticker, or encourage ALPA to distribute them em mass during the next round of contract negotiations. I'd also suggest one that says "At $22 an hour, did you really expect a good landing?"
 
And how much money were you making at your previous job, ya' know, the one you had before you decided to fly a "shiny new jet"?

I think we both know its more than you were making at your previous job!! ;)

Exactly! I'm rolling in the dough now that I work at Atlanta's Special Airline, something I couldn't say about my last job.

I think I'm going to look into taking up your former career. Then I can fly for fun like you!

I think most passengers misunderstand $22 an hour. It is misleading. Try instead "at $385 a week" or how about "For less than 1/2 the wage of your accountant" or "For less than you pay your secretary".
 
Crappy Car

Well its not on my flightbag but on the bumper of my beat up VW Van-->

"Don't laugh, your daughter is in here!"
