Do junior captains still buy the beers like the captains in their 50's or do they eat at Subway every meal and skip having beers like the captains in their 60's?

Also not sure what company you work for, but being narrowbody A or B with the current state of our airline doesn’t exactly leave us much time on layovers to “bond.” Instead we get to bond over the course of our 10-12 hour duty day, get to the hotel, workout, grab some food, get some sleep, back to the grind.
Your hypothesis holds no merit.

My first international trip after TOE was Glasgow. My wife came. Captain would not let us pay for anything. He just asked that when I'm a "medium body" Captain nearing retirement to do the same. (It was a 757, so we weren't really WB, but it pays close enough)
