Obviously they weren't loved as a baby, and cry out for attention through bag stickers. Just leave the idiot to be an idiot, they will get the attention needed for it.
P.S. I love seeing the B727, B767, A330, B747, etc bag stickers. It's a cliff note on that pilot's history..

I saw this on a XJT's FO's bag last week in IAD.
I like NIN as much as the next person, but how professional is it when your bag looks like a 16 year olds high school locker?
The CA with him (who was on the XJT MEC) didn't seem to mind, though he was too busy complaining to a FA rather loudly at Five Guys how he couldn't get into the Air Force Academy.

I was in a Hotel this morning, and hit my breaking point. A fellow pilot was eating breakfast, and I couldn't help but notice how many people were looking at his flight bag, and how could you not? It was covered in stickers, with most being politically extreme in nature. I even overheard conversations commenting on some of the content on his bag. So instead of the typical, "Oh there's a pilot eating" type of talk, it was "Did you see whats on that pilot's bag."
We all have the right to believe whatever we choose, and yes, we all have freedom of speech, but do we need to broadcast it in our work environment. To be treated like professionals, we need to act professional. Whether we admit it or not, we are highly visable and the public is still intrigued with all things relating to the profession. Is it too much to ask to have a neutral flight bag? Flair is for waiters, not pilots.

Next time, if you see something so offensive, why not say something then and there rather than whining on APC.
