I think he was frustrated with the guy misrepresenting himself and calling him suspicious at the same time. Not so much the fact that he holds no respect for FO’s.
Why are people so quick to jump at each others throats in here? Some of you are about as vexatious as ex-spouses.

Yeah, ok chief.
Then I guess you can put me down as another piece of misrepresenting scum because it would be exhausting to correct every passenger, cashier, Starbucks barista, Subway sandwich artist, van driver, gate agent, hotel staff, hotel guest, aircraft cleaner, caterer and ramper who see stripes on someone's sleeve and toss out a friendly "Morning Cap'!" or "How you doin' today Cap'?"

Thank you to 4Runner and Joachim for their interesting stories and yes they are good stories. The tools are the people attacking them. Oh no, he worked for Norwegian.
Get over it.
I can also sympathize with the logbooks 2 continents away and getting called up out of the blue with short notice. As for the job fair FOs, I must say when I did the job fair rounds, it was the FOs that seemed to have an air of smugness to them. The CAs at job fairs were cool. But the FOs, quite a few reeked as “look at me, I made it here, let’s see if you’re worthy......”

Still find it weird that you would address someone as "captain" who did not introduce themself as such. If that makes me the weirdo toolbag, then so be it. I've been called worse by better.

It’s called respect and it is a professional title. It’s also earned. I think it’s weird that someone would call from a company, identify themselves as from the CP’s office, and not correct me. Then call me suspicious in an arrogant tone. Maybe nurses can start promoting themselves to doctor and replace that valve I need taken care of. A previous poster said it well when they described smug FO’s prancing around job fairs with an air of superiority while the Captains are chill and humble. Ze best were the Gulfstream FO’s in fitted shirts at S FL job fairs in the mid 2000’s.

Oh well excuse her for wanting to make this planet a healthy place to live on. Wanna see what this place will be in 10 years? Go huff your cars exhaust for an hour and come back to tell us how you feel.

I would be dead. We're all going to be dead in 10 years? Holy crap! If you cared so much, you wouldn't make a living burning copious amounts of fossil fuel.
