Again, if you really are an airline pilot, you are one of the very few problem children. Which tells me you're likely not an airline pilot.

Garrison said airline pilots don't care about the presence of passengers any more than flying an empty airplane. He says this while never having acted as an airline pilot. That's an issue. You agreeing is another.

I feel the presence of my passengers on every flight. I think about them every time I study an upper air chart and/or query ATC about where the smooth air is. I think about them every time I try to make up time enroute to ensure an on-time arrival and they all make their connections, etc., etc. Almost every airline pilot I've ever flown with in the last 36 years felt and acted exactly the same. My fellow airline pilots and myself are already consistently operating at the highest level of professionalism that we know how. Thus your admonition to airline pilots needing to step up the professionalism is simply a gratuitous attack on a profession you likely know nothing about. We're used to it, but it's still annoying.

I don't know where people like you come up with this stuff.
