Pilots deadheading, with or without uniform?
Ok, so I'm starting a new job with an ACMI operation and we are home based. When we go out to fly, we're "airlined" on various airlines such as British Airways, Luftansa, KLM, and some US Flag operations...
my question is, as a deadheading pilot, does it do me any good to travel in uniform in terms of security screening, complimentary first class (business class) upgrades, etc.. or should I just keep the monkey suit in the suitcase and wear the comfortable jeans?
Hoping there are seasoned and experienced dead-heads that can weigh in.
