I originally intended to do a 2 line reply but I got a bit carried away with that rant.

The look of disgust that besets me when I think about those sorts of situations reminds me of the time I was nonreving on U2 with a buddy of mine who at that time was doing lowly ATR driving for MQ building his time. We get seated next to one of their deadheading FOs and within a few mins into the conversation he says that hes driving the bus with 350 odd hours under his belt on a MPL. The moment that sentence was finished my buddies face looked like he just gnawed on dried up diarrhea that sat in a diaper for a whole day soaked in cat urine.
