Narrative:
First officer seated in the passenger section dressed in his uniform deadheading back to ZZZ; did not have his mask covering his nose and mouth the entire flight back to ZZZ. He did not eat or drink anything. I eventually had to tell him to pull up his mask and which he gave me a crazy look.I feel as flight attendants we have enough to do in policing revenue passengers and shouldn't have to police for passengers who work for the company and understand the mask policy and not want to comply. Employees trying to get away with not complying with the policy. It's getting out of hand.he gave me a look; but he put his mask on.make sure the first officer understands; abide by the rules; and starts taking the policy serious or else lose flight benefits for not complying. It's not a good look for passengers seeing pilots dressed in uniform not complying with the policy.
