Not quite 'on-thread' but it relates to being seated in the passenger cabin in uniform - on a flight as 'flying spanner' sent to recover an aircraft stuck at an outstation.
The recovered aircraft was flying back with four of us on the flight deck in uniform. When the meal was served, rather than balance a tray on our knees in the jump seats, us two engineers went back into the cabin to eat. While we were eating, the F/O [who was a Captain] came back for a chat. A passenger sitting opposite came over and asked "If you people are all in here, who's flying the aeroplane?" We had to take him up front to prove that the captain was actually at the controls. Ah such happy innocent days. We can't do things like that anymore.

[Edited to insert comma. We weren't eating the F/O. Only cabin crew are allowed to do that!]
