And I always correct passengers that I greet after each flight when they call me, "Captain." Its what all FOs should do. It puts people in their correct place.

Yes, you did. Perhaps rereading the last few pages will help. For future reference, please refrain from commenting on posts you know nothing about. Thanks in advance.

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'?"

Further, if you’re interested in a company, job fairs for that company aren’t a surprise. People that really want to work there know when and where these fairs take place and come prepared. If it was a surprise you obviously are indifferent about working there.
Going home for my logbook meant a 2 continent commute. Some of us were still furloughed in 2014. It was a pleasant surprise Captain Koala. FAPA was good enough to have a job fair that I wasn’t aware of. Sometimes you can get “out of the loop” being far from the US. I decided to buy a blazer at H&M and made a pit stop. I’m not “suspicious”. I’m an honest, hard working aviator with no skeletons in my closet that wanted to come home and be closer to what was left of my family. Cheers and clear skies.

Why are people so quick to jump at each others throats in here? Some of you are about as vexatious as ex-spouses.
Thanks Man.

Everyone should donate to Alexandria Occassional Cortex because she is exactly what this country needs. Tell me how I’m wrong.

Does this help?

Right, because unlike any of those examples you stated it is perfectly normal for an FO to let another pilot call them Captain. You must have been one of those FO assistant Chief pilot tools that thought everyone should address them as “Sir”.

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......”

That's stupidity, not politics. It does not count
