I think you are, which is similar to the Wisconsin D bag situation......If you walked up to a van and witnessed no active loading but another crew was already seated, they had been waiting for you at least a few minutes. This realization would be an encompassing level of smart.

Given the above level of smart, common curtesy would dictate that you would let them check in first (not self centered).

Most guys get this....

Heck, I can top this. Once had a deadheading COMPANY crew on my transcon flight to the East Coast. The pilots were in the forward rows and their F/As were in the back of the plane.

They not only got off quickly but then took the van leaving BOTH crews behind (mine and theirs)!

Talk about dbaggery.

Yep, for sure. A little dense on that one, but completely agree.

Mega-super-maxi dbaggery. I'd be very inclined to go have a conversation with that crew when I got to the hotel.

I'm glad to say, however, most of the interactions I've had with my own company's crews and other crews have been respectful and pleasant.

But there are always a few...

I let THEIR F/As take care of it. Those girls were hot enough to (fill in the blank).

Well, if the van runs on a schedule, I don't see a problem.
