But that's not always the case...
I just LOVE to start my pairing/id with some dumb *** comments coming from the left seater...
"Wow, I feel much better now that I have a continental jepp kit up here", or " you know this airplane was brought in by a lual crew because..."
Get over it boys n gals..that ship has long set sail!
