Did it one day as well, didn’t feel need to play stand up comedian in front of the passengers though. Kept the cockpit door closed, nobody knew... |

Except for the fact that on International flights You have to wear a uniform.
At least outside the Cockpit ,,,,,,, Then again DenimAir solved that problem,,,, |

Me too - I can't think if any reference which comes to mind, except by way of a reference in a company manual, which can easily be set aside in such a case as given.
There are similar procedures for operating with faxed or emailed copies of licenses and medicals if the originals are lost or stolen downline although this may only apply to domestic operations. A United pilot showed up for a flight in civvies a couple of years ago: United Airlines replaced a pilot before takeoff on Saturday after she boarded in civilian clothes and told passengers over the intercom that both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were liars and that she was getting a divorce, witnesses said. The airline on Sunday declined to identify the pilot or comment beyond a previous statement apologizing to customers, many of whom left the plane out of concern for their safety. The flight from Austin, Texas, to San Francisco took off with a new pilot about 90 minutes late, passengers said. “She shows up dressed like a civilian and asked us to take a vote to see whether we should have her change into her uniform or fly as is,” passenger Pam O’Neal told KPIX television upon landing in San Francisco. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-a...-idUSKBN15R0RC |

TL;DR: be careful what you are wearing in terms of flammability. In this case, it really doesn't matter as the study found that air crew uniforms are typically made of flammable materials, just as bad as civilian clothing. |
I must be in the minority, I don’t take my licence with me when I go on holiday. |

Years ago I saw a coworker in slacks, casual shoes, a sport polo shirt at an international destination. "On vacation?" "No, I'm working. They asked 'how quickly can you get to the airport?" I said with my uniform or as I'm dressed right now? They asked what I was wearing and said 'good enough.' So here I am."

I don't know where you keep yours but in the U.S. most guys keep their license in their wallet. So it goes to the gym, pool, shopping, dinner, movies, holiday, sporting events, etc, etc.
Mine never leaves my flight case except from the occasioanl sim revalidation or medical, although I generally take one of my company IDs with me on holiday. I think a photocard license in Europe would be sensible (minus Orville and Wilbur, Frank Whittle perhaps?). My best friend is a train driver and his train license (UK) looks identical to an EU driving license, therefore arranged in a very familiar format. Not my photo... |
Ok, I am just referring to old CAA Cpt Bjørn The Calibrator as I show up in Oslo for 10 day In Greenland via CPH and Vagar in proper warm Army Field Jacket and Jeans.
Made me buy black pants at the Main terminal. Felt like an idiot not knowing about this. After all we calibrate half of North Norway that winter looking like some ragtag bush ops. International flights different he said. Didnt argue with Bjørn , he was CAA and he was Boss. Great chap. Anyway This was back in 1994, things has changed Eh. So standby duty: Speedo at the beech ! " How quick can you be at the airport?" There is a Youtube clip you will struggle to erase ! Peace and love Cpt B |

Doesn’t actually reflect that well on the company that they couldn’t find a pilot, dressed like a pilot, to be the pilot . |
I have reservations about him identifying his family as passengers. In any problems in the cabin they would be valuable hostages/targets. He did not have to point them out. No problems, this time.
The Dft did at one time briefly consider banning crew relatives in the cabin. |
