I’m not sure the answer. Perhaps it’s because we stroke our ego over and over again while they helplessly watch. Or maybe it’s because we complain about our long, hard careers, while making decent money (they know how much we make). In any case I hold no grudges or judgement. I brief as well I can and do my best to keep them safe in flight. Can’t win ‘em all.

Now excuse me as I have an angry gaping box, powered by wet red fluid, calling my name for the next 4 hours. I hope she’s ready for the Big Valbowski.
