I'm not "starry-eyed". For me, asking to non-rev I feel is showing respect to the captain. How does this make me a pawn to management? Who said I was calling the CEO and begging to non-rev? You don't know anything about me except that I am new and trying to be polite. Thanks to you guys I now see how asking to non-rev is kind of silly, but don't insinuate that doing it will make me some kind of management fan boy. But damn, I wasn't expecting a barrage of "LOL n00b that is retarded why the F would you ever do that?".
