Worked at NAL, our summer uniforms were short sleeves, no tie and if I remember correctly no hat. Walking up to my gate and a woman asked if I could take her bags for her to the gate since I looked like a sky cap, I did, got my tip...than flew her to TPA.

Outside the old terminal in DTW in my NWA uniform with hat.

Woman: "Officer, that car has been sitting there for over twenty minutes, and my husband needs a place to pick me up. Please make him move!"

Me: "I'm not a police officer"

Woman (chuckling): "Yes you are. Make him move!"

My captain: "That's why I don't wear my hat"

A lady in PVD at the JetBlue gate just saw her flight get canceled. Made a loud huffing sound, and looked right at me and asked now what? That's when I nicely told the lady I don't know, I don't work for JetBlue. She was now even more ****ed off. I then proceeded to another gate ( commuting ) and GTFO!!!

Look at me Mom WEEEeeeeeee!!!!

Award goes to the FO of Delta 2680 on 7 feb who was being a radio bully to a regional flight that was just telling ground that they were runnin on one engine. FO said "we're all very proud of you" in a sarcastic tone. LiveATC.net LGA ground around 8:30pm. Very unbecoming of a delta pilot.

The MMPI and the Hogan are not bullet--proof.

That guy should not be teaching anyone anything. I'm sure the rest of that IOE was productive.
