I highly doubt most co-workers in any job always nod to each other when they walk by.
I gotta agree with this guy. Some times I'm thinking about other stuff, spacing out, on the phone or something else caught my attention that I'd rather nod and smile at (like one of those SKW FA's
). I try to acknowledge most pilots I see in the airport (GoooooJets excluded. Some of THOSE guys will grin at you like a crazy person. Clueless.) but if I don't its not because I think I'm better than you or I think you/your company/your pilot group wronged me. I mean, I know I'm a cool guy and everything but don't take it personally if I don't run over and shake your hand and tell you what a great job I think you're doing just because you have stripes on your sleeves
