It was just after 10 on a Monday night — “flight night” at Austin’s Ale House in Kew Gardens, Queens — and the place was packed with flight attendants and pilots.

For anyone curious about the social lives of flight crews after touchdown, here was a glimpse. They had replaced their prim blue uniforms with casual clothes or, in keeping with a theme of the evening, fuzzy pajamas.

A pilot in a unicorn onesie danced to music spun by a flight attendant sidelining as a D.J.

“We’re all really close and we need to have each other’s backs because we’re all up in the air together,” said Evan Kopilow, 36, a pilot who explained that camaraderie was one reason Kew Gardens has long attracted flight crew members seeking a community of their own.
