Good Point, Broncofan. I rarely had captains buy dinner when I was an FO but times were different and most of these captains, due to my base and equipment, were weirdos. I have always enjoyed treating others, especially if I weighed in on the restaurant etc. Never made a deal of it just grabbed the tab at the end and paid. That way the FAs and FOs ordered what they really wanted expecting to pay for it themselves. Times are different now. Everyone can be a captain and FOs are all there by choice many openly make fun of junior NB captains (which I was for a decade) and their decision to be on reserve or commute etc. Hearing that often has soured my feelings and even made me feel like a chump for having made such poor decisions over the years (In the eyes of these 3 year FOs “bypassing captain “). Just like captains in years past should have given some thought to showing FOs pictures of their “stuff” and bragging about income, maybe mid to senior seniority FOs should think twice before making comments about people who are choosing (or chose years ago) to take captain bids.
