Don't worry man, others HAVE had worse.

Oh yeah, like others have said, don't assume they are jerks just because of that. And don't be afraid to take a stand, like I didn't do on those two occasions. I don't know, something about being on probation makes me afraid to do much of anything. LoL So yeah, i'm being hypocritical. I wish I didn't feel like I would have been fired, but if I had said anything in either of those situations, what I would have said would have GOTTEN me fired, so keep that in mind IF you decide to take the stand!

I know what you're saying about probation - I had to deal with a volatile Captain and wished I had had more of a backbone. However, the Fedex pilot and your Captain - that's way over the line. What were they - 5 year olds? Amazing the stories you hear from the flight deck!
