Back pre-merger it was just backwards from what you described.

Soooooooo the we always complained about the guys who never plugged the ship headset back in. Also, there was no standard place to store the headset so you had to hunt for it.
Now the merger comes along and we get the POS DCs. Yes........EVEN I went out and purchased a headset. Then I would complain about those guys who cant store the DCs.
Come to the Airbus, nice Telex and very few guys use their own (have to buy a $50something adapter) and become "that guy who doesn't plug the ship headset back in"
Hey Ferd,
Nice to see you posting.
I didn't even realize it's as simple as blaming the N guys!
Your explanation makes sense, but I think I've observed this from either group. I don't think guys are being rude, I just think some guys assume everyone else does what they do, because it's the best way, and they courteously let the next person do it the best way too. I'm certain there is no malice in it. As you explained, it's quite the opposite.
The people that leave their DC for the next guys aren't tools, only those that leave a DC for me...
