Knowing your Pilots
With laws that ensure a public display of IDS, you know more about the cab driver who takes you to the airport than you do about the commercial pilot who takes you to another city or country.
Just as I can view my cab driver's licence before I take the ride, I would also like to view, online, my pilot's licence and make an informed decision as to whether I choose to trust that person with my life - or my family's life. I willingly submit to all the security checks before boarding. In return, I expect a small amount of professional information about commercial pilots I'm expected to trust with my life.

We also willingly submit to all the security checks before boarding.
We also undergo full Federal Police background checks every 2 years.
In return, I'd like to see a full background check on all my passengers so I can decide whether or not I can trust them to get on my plane.
I worked for many years to obtain the qualifications and actually earn my position, whereas you were just the least hated in a popularity contest with no skills required.
Seriously, you just reminded me why politicians are so despised!
