Way to protect the respect for our profession (what little there is left of it in this country). Emirates, Lufthansa, ANA, or any other pilots from countries where our profession is still respected, do you guys make it habit of cleaning aircraft cabins especially in front of the general public? Nevermind.....I already know the answer.
Having watched this tool in action for three days, I KNOW he'd scab. No doubt in my mind. Of course, he fit the typical SW pilot flying background. Gee, what a surprise.
The thing I always found annoying when guys like this go above and beyond helping out and/or gladhanding with passengers in the back is that it usually means more work for the other pilot. I can't speak for everyone, but I typically don't have all the excess time in the world once the inbound gets in for a turn.
All that *****footing around means that when they finally do decide to come up front and do their job, they start rushing through briefings and checklists.
