Upgrading didn't change my perspective since I've been a Captain/Aircraft Commander before. It did show me how self-stroking DL captain culture is. I've never seen such contempt for SIC's/FO's anywhere else I've flown. Everything here is much more PIC centered, almost like the implication permeating everything is that FO's are these mouth breathing cavemen that are only good for slinging gear, flaps and being ballast.

I've been here for 9+ years, 7 as a FO, and I didn't experience what you apparently have. Almost every captain I've flown with has been open to feedback/suggestions. Have you tried the international side of the operation? I definitely felt a more collaborative team driven vibe when I was flying 3 pilot ops to Europe.

Delta is kind of an anomaly where Captains answer to F/Os who work in the CPO. They are above captains in the Org Chart.
Which I didn't become aware of until one wrote me up.

Any FOM nerds know the answer? Do we actually need to wear a hat if we are eating? I lost my hat in a house fire. I’ve been calling out “unfit for duty” all month until I get my replacement, but I want to make sure I’m 100% compliant when I go back to work

I guess the NY CPO has some power hungry FO ACPs. Did you call your reps about this?
