I think one can be "mature, thoughtful and professional" and also not particularly generous...
The typical former WAL Captains I flew with seemed much more "laid back" than the typical Atlanta "RDs" I flew with. The ATL guys seemed to get wrapped around the axle about relatively trivial stuff, whereas the SLC guys seemed to do a much better job of focusing on the big picture. Over the course of a rotation there was significantly less drama.
Those are just my observations over approximately seven years tenure in both bases.
