"I"M ENTITLED to my 1,000 turbine PIC ! My professors at Riddle told me so ! That's MY seat,you lifer scum !" You know,the lifers get together and talk.They talk about such and such F/O,you know.They realize that F/O's are hoping to move them out of the way via various means.One called the company at EXACTLY show time and said his captain was late.Thing was,he wasn't late-he was in the crew room where he's supposed to be.So the captain had him pulled off the trip and he got to explain to the lifer chief pilot why he didn't know the GOM.Some of these lifers are check airmen.It would be bad if you got an unsat on your next PC-might be a bad thing on your app to Southwest.As for a degree inferring intellect-please ! Have any of you ever seen what a longshoreman makes ? You'd be crying in your beer.Now argue amongst yourselves,but be aware,the lifers are onto you.
