Because I don't think DAL or anyone that could nonrev on this flight flies MD11's. Maybe the professional thing you could have done was told the crew they forgot their newspaper in the on the dash, and not called out an entire pilot group on a public board. That, my fellow pilot, was unprofessional.
No, I was not jumpseating. Re-read the post. I WAS EATING!!! I've covered this more than once now - how many times do I have to repeat it. By all means, make me this issue and not the actions of this crew.
You are also trying to change the topic by getting into reading the paper in cruise - I'm not talking about that (though I personally don't do it). Try and stay on topic.
