Duvie you must be a 21st century "sensitive man". That was just light hearted humor. I say worse to the Lieutenant Females in my C-17 reserve unit and even they can laugh without getting defensive. My "newness" is probably due to only having 8000 hrs jet time when most of the old-timers are approaching 20,000 hrs. Or I guess "newness" is due to the fact I have only been furloughed once from a legacy carrier. Or maybe even due to that my wife and I have managed to avoid divorce (remember you are not a real airline pilot until you have been furloughed and divorced). I assume "newness" is a relative term.
My teenager thinks I am as old as dinosaurs, he will chuckle with "you getting all up in my grill".
Sorry, I was all jacked up on Mountain Dew.
