Kudos to the regional guy, who stayed calm and collected, while trying to educate this CA who was about to have an aneurysm.
What kind of bubble does this guy live in that he doesn’t know who flies for his company and who gets pass travel. If his ignorance doesn’t force him into retirement, maybe a heart attack will.
I think I’ve deadheaded on one of this guys flights. As I’m settling into my comfy middle seat in steerage, El Capitan comes on back to give me an earful about not checking in with him to ask for a ride even though I was a space positive DH. I just don’t really give a **** anymore and always stop by the flight deck even though 99% of the time I get the “why are you bothering me?” look.
