First of all, you and I have never met or spoken. Therefore you can't GUARANTEE anything. Second, I've had some terrific talks and debates during transcon jumpseat trips with former south guys. Even the guys who are DALPA supporters provided great thoughts and respectful debate. No "pontificating" from either side.

It's exactly the same, but you knew that too. I always throw on a headset, adhere to the crew brief and become an extra set of eyes and ears throughout the flight. I talk and we share stories. I covet the Milanos and Kit Kat bars, and provide the perfect alibi in case someone farts. If that's not the same as working together, I don't know what is.

Yes, the 747 is entirely different. We actually utilize a different atmosphere when we fly.

Corporate office environments are definitely different. That's for sure.
