NIJASEA
Joe Public seems alsways to have been impressed with me as a pilot.
This arrogance of statement is made because I have always had my uniform on as though I were on military parade.
My shirt is always tucked in.
My tie is always a windsor knot.
My uniform is always clean.
It is always pressed.
My shoes shine.
I do not wear dongles aaround my neck or sunglasses.
I wear a cap.
My flighyt bag is a Jeppesen without stupid stickers to show I have been to LaLa Lufthansa land.
I never eat in public in uniform-or drink.
I never drive my car with epaulletes on.
I keep my body in shape and nebver look like a slob.
If passengers are at a lose, I stop to try to help them and I smile at people, even after 69 sectors.
In short sir, on the ground, I try to be a credit to a parade ground.
In the air, I try to be a credit to my profession.
