The best advice I got from a captain when I was in training was do not get the reputation of letting them push you around. I tried to play nice with them and it got me nothing. Then I got annoyed, got ALPA involved, and asked for their supervisors. That is what got me paid, made it so I only have to call once to get an aircraft repo on my schedule, and in general not get pushed around to see what they can get away with.
