I flew with Capt Cotton. Long gone infamous dbag. He'd wanted dark cockpit at night going across the Atlantic. He'd come up during his break to check if we had the ligths off. Not sure why the OP really had time to point out pointless things but he's in for the same at any place he works. No one briefs the ATIS, not sure where that comes from. If a 777 LCA pointed out his tie, kinda a jerk but we do have an FOM that points out uniform policy. Seems like the OP has a hard time making great pay but not comforming to FOM and FM rules. I don't agree with all the changes FX makes but its my job and as a professional, its my job to follow company policy.
