You are not being overly sensitive. As men, and a few women, we need a pat on the back, or an attaboy, every now and then and the occasional ugly tie from Jr. doesnt' cut it. We need recognition too. I'm sure you are a great pilot. The assistant should have told you to have a seat, finished stuffin her cake hole, and done it right. The chief pilot should see you and congratulate you with a handshake with your peers present, or at least the office staff.

With all of the above being said, ALL I want is for the fire department to NOT screw up my final flight hose salute ... If I make it and the company doesn't go T.U.
