Wow, that right there shows how naive and in a bubble you have lived your life. Just off the top of my head from personal or close relationships I can think of many who are worse than pilots. Try doctors, lawyers, law enforcement, nurses, firefighters, engineers, plumbers and just about every trade out there, dentists and accountants. You ever experienced life as a first year cop or firefighter? You think a newbie engineer who is hired at someplace like AT&T or Intel is treated like an equal? Sorry bud but you are living in dreamland. I'm not saying it's right but it is what it is and there is a purpose for it. In the real world you have thick skin to survive.
Ok let me try to address this all...
I am actually a firefighter (woops) and its no where near this bad in firefighting lol. I went through the hazing and sweeping and moping and cooking and cleaning the trucks but not once was i ever insulted for my inexperience.
I am related to many doctors whom i have never heard speak of their lesser experienced colleagues in a disrespectful way.
My father is an investor who has many accountants, while i wouldnt have first hand experience in whether or not they insult each other, this doesnt really seem like the field that would do that though considering they dont work in proximity with each other...
I have no experience with Cops or Engineers so i cannot comment on those.
However reading your post makes me think you just named a bunch of professions without any proof. I cant help but to find humor in that you listed nurses and plumbers, i highly doubt people in these professions are degraded and insulted for inexperience. You are misunderstanding me, I do not wish to be treated as equal with a captain however i do wish to be treated with the same respect i grant others, I would never degrade a low time pilot by calling them 250 hour wonders and other names of that nature, As i stated before there are ways to address a lesser experienced pilot and that is not the way to do it. All i want is respect as a person to not be insulted.
