You know what I am talking about, the guy that has worn a bomber jacket & aviators shades since ground school. The guy who always has the cool, and no matter what you have been through, he has been through worse. When I hear one of these guys, I am reminded of the guys that wear Navy SEALS shirts, despite never having been in the military.
Don't get me wrong, I have a set of wire framed raybans and they feel great under a headset. Someday I will probably break down and get a nice bomber style waist jacket. But I hope I never develop the arrogant and sometimes unsafe attitude that I am THE BEST STICK ANYWHERE.
This is something that has bothered me for years. In your guys experience, are these guys normal when you get higher up in the airline food chain? Or have they been weeded out? When you fly with them, how are their skills on average?
BTW, I don't mean to ruffle anybodys feathers, but it is a valid question.
