And nearly had an aneurysm when we closed the door 1 minute late because the jet bridge wouldn't retract. You'd have thought the rampers had abducted his first-born.
And best of all: when I stated my opinion that regional pilots are underpaid, replied with a quote from the Bible about the nobility of poverty. I kid you not.
You, sir, are a tool.
Everyone has a dude like that if not a few at their company. Flew with a guy that when turbulence would drive the speed up to 254 below 10,0 in the climb he would proceed to turn the autopilot off for an agressive pitch up to correct the horrendous 4kt deviation. Completely out of touch with common sense. They grind your will to live to a pulp. Sympathies.
