Point of order: No one should be talking in the van/bus. Ever. Straight to jail. It should be a cocoon of silence and reflection before we start the grind, or after a long day. Digest the flight plan or plan your dinner.
And some of the worst conversations on crew vans/busses have not come from pilots. As Morrissey would say, "Caligula would have blushed."
