Also... THIS ^^^^^ cracks me up! Guess what? As a reserve captain,
I get to fly with all the introvert, reject, asocial, obnoxious, arrogant, over reaching, entitled, mouth breather FOs. I love how some people think it takes the left seat for the weirdos to really show their colors. Newsflash folks: those captains everyone hates to fly with...they weren't BORN captains (though most of them will tell you with a straight face that they marched from their mother's womb with four stripes on their shoulder and scrambled eggs hanging from their hat). At one point they were FOs no one liked to fly with! Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it!
