Hopefully he'll come out of it a little wiser and mature.

It IS embarrassing, but when people are treated like children, sometimes they act like children. Not an excuse, just a reality. Regional pilots are treated like dirt, and then suddenly expected to behave like professionals. To their credit, 99.9% conduct themselves with professionalism even when their companies don't return the favor. Please, I'm not condoning this or making excuses for it, I'm simply saying it doesn't surprise me at all.

He's correct. Eurotrashland is a proper term when it comes to the vests.
One fine morning on a ETL ramp. 3 pilots, only one vest wearer, were accosted within 30 seconds of taking several small steps for man onto the aircraft footprint. The excitement of catching the colonials flagrantly violating the socialist order was thick in the air.
The objections continued even when it was professionally explained that we were only on the ramp to pay respects to a fellow Captain who passed away on a layover as his remains were coming off a open truck into the forward cargo
With no common sense forthcoming in the conversation, a good 'Neww Yawk' response was tendered that sent the little socialist 'Hand of the King' off for reinforcements.
We departed for the colonies before the bureaucracy could react or somebody talked some sense into the idiot.

Why? Do you think these are equitable infractions?
Guy "A" lied. And not just lied, but committed an act of stolen valor, something seriously frowned upon in this country.
Guy "B" made a fool of himself in public. He didn't break any overt safety rules like videoing while flying etc, he just made us look bad. It was pretty embarrassing.
I think being pulled off the line and told to straighten up is more than enough.

Federal appeals court rules wearing unearned military medals is free speech.

I just don't get that size of flashlight, we have far superior, while cheap, like a few bucks cheap...aka...pilot style. One AA and you are set for 6 months!!!
Then again I don't understand being a wanna be pilot, while being a doctor on a pilot forum, bashing our programs when you can only afford a 182. I flew for a neurosurgeon and he could afford a king air plus a bunch....must be a sorry cardio doc I guess....

I stand by my original statement. This guy needs to be stripped of his ATP. I personally don't want him amongst our ranks. What an utter idiot.
