Adrianna:
Who me?
Letting sales staff know I am a captain?
Could not care less what the sales staff think:
If I walk around the ticket counter with the uniform on, uh let them figure it out, if it makes a diff.
Personally I would prefer to fly in shorts and T-shirt, no stripes and no glory.
Some captains out there however enjoy the 4 stripes and the admiring looks from pax and sales staff, but it gets pretty old after a while.
Most captains probably agree.
Those that don't take 'em self way too seriously:
Yes ya are God in your own little Kingdom, but better men have been there before ya....Just like inside your wife: Guys have been there before and done the same job.
Hmm, what was the question again?
What does the sale staff think???
Who gives a ****?
What this whole flying job boils down to is:
How much money do ya make and how many days off per month?
(Usually not enough of either as the job is harder and less paid than you think)
The glory and the stripes and all that is surely good stuff but it rubs off after a while.
Ex B-747, DC-3, DHC-6, etc. captain,
