Needless to say that didn't sit well with me, an '87 hire (junior A/B Capt displaced back to F/O next month), who like the rest of my fellow pilots here have endured a miserable career path post 9-11 and bankruptcy. Next time a little humility would be appreciated, but of course, you will have to display that from a coach seat. You won't be riding up front with me anymore.
