Na, were just the 1900's ship captain spin offs. But that does give me a good idea I think we should update our language for PA's to be inclusive of our nautical attire. Turbulence shall now be referred to as sea seat, Thunder storms are now ice burgs, and one pilot must yell "land ho!" before landing.

Nice catch mr. gummed
I had a good chuckle with breeezy's reply. He is a bit naive about the military, so it is somewhat acceptable for him to insert his foot in his mouth on that one.

Leather jackets are what old guys wear when they are trying to look cooler, like Tom Cruise in Top Gun. My comment actually had nothing to do with "the military." Bit since you went there, I don't want us looking USAF pilots either.

Fwiw early airline uniforms and terminology came from the nautical world. Hell, pan am called their captains "masters of ocean going vessels" or some deity thing. Not that I'm in favor of it, but that's the uniform lineage. Same with the sheepskin seats. Back to when it lined the leather jackets of the guys flying the mail. Which northwest did....so I guess neither pre merger outfit was any less "old school."
I wonder if passengers even care. Remember the skybus safari looking uniforms?
