Sometimes pilots take things too seriously. Life is short. Enjoy the ride.

P.S. Before the haters start hatin', know that professionalism and humor are not, in fact, mutually exclusive concepts.
I guess I am one of those guys.
I usually have very thick skin but I admit it rubbed me the wrong way.
Humor depends on who tells the joke, how it is told, context etc.. Our employer fueling a stereotype that our job is easy, crosses that line. If they made fun of themselves (Bankruptcy button) in the video and other work groups, FA (shown as a restaurant server), MTC etc...it would have been easier to take I'm sure. We were the only Delta employee joke at the end....not cool. Happy to see they removed it, but very surprised it made the final cut with Delta being on the forefront of PC.
