The elitist snobs who are constantly judging others are the very LEAST desirable people to have in the cockpit. You're not special, what you do every day for a career is one of the easiest jobs you could possibly have. You do not take work home with you, all you do is show up at the gate and do your job. You're not a doctor, your not an engineer, the biggest accomplishment in your life is that you made it as far as you have in this industry without going bankrupt or getting divorced.

If it wasn't for the government stepping in, you would be replaced by a 250 hour pilot who would do your job for free. You want to be an elitist snob? Why don't you do something significant in life that requires you to evolve cognitively? Go become an engineer, or software programmer, where every project forces you to evolve by a few magnitudes in terms of what you know?
Most pilots have absolutely no marketable skills outside of aviation, if you were to lose your aviation career, you can go take your elitism bull**** with you to truck driver school, or In and Out while you flip burgers. It's no different at mainline, where their biggest accomplishment was that they were hired by a major.
Yes, in reality, the elitist snobs are the LEAST desirable person to have working at a company, let alone sitting in the cockpit. I'll take a redneck from the Louisiana Bayou, even if I can't understand half of what they say, THEY are the most desirable to have sitting next to me.
