Since I live with a ramper at CVG, I can say your post is incorrect. He transfered of A as soon as he could to go over to C. People bid to where they have the best schedule, just like pilots. It isn't because you guys are so cool and treat them so nice, I have heard contrary from my roommate.
As for giving the finger, it happens. Watched a captain do it before. Pilots aren't overly happy here. Go through a sham bankruptcy and see how happy you are.
