I think I may have come across as rude at some point or another, but keep in mind it may be from a number of other factors. Don't take it personal if the Captain isn't too friendly - He or she may just be having a bad day. I commute and welcome all other commuters in the JS as long as they didn't have mexican food the night before.

When there was a break in the conversation the FO, who apparently has heard enough about the motor home over the course of the trip would pipe in and ask random "How are things at your airline" question. Before I could answer the CA, who you could tell was clueless as hell, would pipe in about "Did I tell you about the grill I bought for the motor home??". And then we'd hear about the grill for his motor home.

The best part came when he said his daughter, 17 years old, would take her friends out there to the campsite to "sing campfire songs and roast marshmallows, and play the guitar and just had a good ol' time!" When he said that the FO and I shared the same "That ain't what your daughter is doing out there, sir" glance.
