The initial response was to sailings... but LCAs are saints (I'm paraphrasing) The second was an example of an unselfaware LCA I flew with more than once who felt he had to teach every pilot he flew with. Thankfully I haven't flown with an LCA in a long time like that (or any really) If I wasn't clear that this was my specific experience with someone (two really) on more than one occasion, then it's clear now. My experience has been the worst at DAL of the 3 airlines and 1 corporate operator I've worked for. There is an elevated level of self importance with the LCAs at DAL that were not present elsewhere. This is my experience. If that has changed, then that's a good thing. As for being wound tight, I doubt it. It's probably too close to home for some, and hard truths are tough to accept.
