She says too bad you defaced your pilot certificate.

Years ago (before photos appeared on drivers licenses), we were in entering a bar in Denver (we all lived in Maryland at the time). Three of my coworkers were in line ahead of me and presented their MD driver's license and then I gave my pilot's license. Maryland, Maryland, Maryland, OK, United States of America? What?
 
I sat my copy of soaring magazine on the middle seat while I was getting settled last flight and every on of the attendants stopped and turned their heads to see what it was. I can’t even imagine why it caught their attention, but every single one of them stopped cold and craned to see it.

Are you sure that's what they were looking at? ;-)
 
The second largest text is Private Pilot.

Just sayin.
 
A friend that works for the FAA was getting a boatload of crap from the Flight attendant. Until he pulled out his ID.

Once on a flight to Australia I was reading an aviation magazine. The Captain came by - and noticed it. We had a pleasant chat for a few minutes - and then he invited me up to
the cockpit!. It was a (then) brand new 747. The crew gave me a nice tour of the flight deck. Fun times!

I got pulled for speeding in my 911S and the state trooper asked if I had a license to fly....”as a matter of fact, said I”...$250 fine , said he.:)

I was on my way to a race track once when a Department of Public Safety Officer asked me if I had a license to race.... The officer was in a very foul mood and when I showed him my NASCAR hot pit license, he came unglued. This was back when the national speed limit was 55.... He acted like I had just committed high treason. But I contested the ticket and got out of it because of his attitude.
 
I got to meet the captain once...

I actually tend to bring along a copy of the NTSB Reporter (or as I call it, plane crash monthly).

I used to get that with my Passport card (lost, so havent tested it in a while) and still get that with my global entry card on a regular basis which is made all the more hilarious because my state issued driver's license is from a state that only just became real-ID compliant this spring. Unless I upgrade my license it wont get me on a plane or into any federal buildings after next year but my global entry card will, yet many vendors wont accept my real-ID compliant, federally issued global entry photo ID for the purchase of alcohol.
 
You might also might not know the FAA uses the same blue card for FA certification...so every FA has one as well...you might be mistaken for cabin crew trying to hustle drinks...unless of course, they put on their reading glasses...
 
I'd say;
I hope the captain didn't drop this.

No wait..

I thought I dropped my neurosurgical board membership card but it was just my old PPL card.
 
I wouldn’t say anything but I know what the Flight Attendant would say.

“Damned pilots are a dime a dozen. In the words of Shania Twain, ‘That don’t impress me much.’”

Really? You wouldn’t expect “here’s my panties, meet me in the rear galley after take off?“. ;)
