I agree with the original post but we also have to remember that it goes both ways. There are some "sky gods" out there who feel they can be abusive with rampers and flight attendants and gate agents or other members of the team whenever they want.
Making it happen is all a big TEAM effort. We aren't in charge of the ground operations or the gate operations. 95% of pilots get that part but there are those few that give us all a bad reputation by acting like prima donnas.
While our job can be challenging at times, it is not really that hard. I think you are making it sound like some kind of super human feat. If it seems that hard, I think maybe you are doing something wrong.
