Supposedly it’s base dependent. I know my domicile’s pilots don’t exactly have a great reputation with the FAs (file me under “don’t really give a $h!t).
One interesting phenomenon I’ve observed and swear by is that the higher the job satisfaction of pilots at a particular company, the lower the A-hole percentage. It seems that the more people are discontent with their employer the more it brings out the undesirable parts of their personality.
My sample size is four airlines and two dozen years in the “biz”. FWIW.
