Three quarters of the captains I've flown with are great people and a lot of fun to fly with! The other 1/4 are people who are, for whatever reason, not very happy with their own lives. Their grumpiness seems to be sometimes related to their own career expectations but more often than not, it's related to their own life choices, (outside of aviation) which have nothing to do with PSA or the airline industry. These people would be just as miserable if they had chosen a career in medicine, law, accounting, engineering, retail, government, or any other career. But NONE have been "condescending a-holes".
For what it's worth, I'll admit that I HAVE dealt with (interviewed by) condescending a-holes at other regional airlines. Fortunately, I was either not offered a job or I declined to accept a job at those other regional airlines.
I'm not saying that condescending a-holes do not exist at PSA. I'm simply saying that I have not personally experienced any.
yeesh. i flew with far too many. everyone of them was mad that there was growth, that didn't exist for them. which was somehow...my fault. you are right, they were few and far between the good guys, but there was enough to leave their mark.
