I do NOT think every captain is on a power trip. I don't want to give that impression. I can only think of a very very small number of captains with power trip issues whom I've flown with. I always respect their experience and knowledge. They are usually twice my age with tons of time in the plane and in the air.
The ones who are on power trips stand out more than the good ones and we tend to focus on those guys/gals.
