Don't get me wrong: everyone's pleasant and professional, and you'll look forward to some trips when you see a particular name listed as the other pilot. However, there are so many of us, all on different schedules, that we just don't spend enough time together to develop the kind of camaraderie to which you've become accustomed.
I guess I'm saying that unlike in the Guard or Reserve, your fellow airline pilots aren't your family. Your family is your family.
I understand completely. There is no way it could be that way with 12k pilots, but from what I hear and see most every pilot enjoys being there and gets along with their Captains/FO. That is all I hope for and no I won't be calling the Captain "bro" or using that in my interview. I think it got taken a little out of context.
Cheers
