Actually a lot of people care. It's makes a difference. Not sure if you are an F.O. but I'm sure you were at one point. Remember how it felt when people said "you aren't a REAL pilot" or "since you aren't THE pilot you probably don't get to fly". It's the principle of the matter. It's kind of annoying when people sound arrogant when they are supposed to be professionals. "We bought you!" sounds totally arrogant when it's not true. I hear it a lot from ASA guys.
