No, he was a TOOL!
I fly with ex-military pilots all the time, I'm one myself, none of them wear nomex gloves at their airline job...
Heck, most of the heavy drivers never wore them while flying in the military!

Might want to revise how you're defining him.
As Timbo stated, that is truly TOTD worthy!

But if it were, you sure be in the running.

TOTD: Anybody who verbalizes every single switch actuation they do. With the rare exception of those that require verbalizing, just DO it, don't tell me about it. I'm not blind.
"Window heat is now... <click> ON."
Or they talk their way through an approach.
"I'm going vert speed... LOC is armed (no kidding, I can see you do both), LOC is alive, capture, GS armed. GS alive, capture, here we go..." All on a visual approach where you can see the runway 25 miles away.
I want to start making "Shhh. Shhhhh, it'll be all right" noises.
This has probably already been nominated. If so, I'm the tool for repeating it, but it's driving me nuts.
