My jean shorts and fresh New Balances WILL NOT be joining you for a drink when we get to the hotel.
Yeah, and see, here’s what bothers me. I’m going to step into the cockpit and behave humbly and no different than I ever would, and none of this will change that no matter how it turns out. After 4 years here I feel like I’ve gotten a decent bead on the 690 personalities that fly here, and there's a significant number who will show on day one and ask how I voted. They’ll remind me how lucky I am to still be here (if it passes). They'll say things like “well at least I don’t have to buy you a beer since I already pay your mortgage.” They’ll behave like you’ve stated. Same folks that wouldn’t stop complaining about everything when times were good, or brought up politics or whatever divisive issue they could while using the soapbox of the left seat.
And the real beauty of it is that it’s exactly what the company wanted.
I don’t know you, so maybe you’re not that guy. I don’t know, I don’t know you. There are plenty out there like that, though.
