That's what they were - a shot with a v-e-r-y long (focal-length) lens.
Photo-editing then was a matter of an air-brush or very fine bristle brush on a optical negative or print.
Different technology, same outcome. Like rotary piston power vs turbo-prop.

You're not getting it. I was standing in the doorway, greeting all the pax. All of them, except this guy, either returned or acknowledged my greeting.
I would never expect a nonrev to poke their head in the flight deck and say hi. I certainly don't, when I'm nonrevving. But to blatantly ignore someone standing there welcoming you on board , I think that's just rude.

If you're really an rj pilot, there's going to be a lot more blatant rudeness thrown your way over the years by all sorts of folks in the business that just see you as "beneath" them. You've just gotta develop a thick skin and don't let it get to you. Some people are just natural douchebags.

Funny, awhile back I had a conversation with my favorite lawyer about this. She said "well, they can claim whatever they want in the magazine." Short story, you are not "in public" when on the private property of the airline, so yes, they can restrict photography, but their recourse is generally limited to kicking you off the flight or seizing your FF miles, etc. It is designed to prevent people from becoming annoying, interfering with the crew, security concerns, or attempting to just portray the airline in a bad light (waiting until you find a pilot sleeping or picking his nose etc).

- "Have a great day, Captain. Thanks for flying with us".
- "You bet, sport. Keep up the good work, sonny boy" *double pat on the cheek*. "Bye sugar-doll" *smiles, winks and nods at the flight attendant next to the greeting pilot*.
How about that?

Is it too much to ask for a pat on the ass once in a while??

Although I'd pay good money to hear anyone call some of our FA's "sugar doll" with a straight face

Les Abend latest article's last two paragraphs. Perhaps not TOTD material, mostly the truth about his airline, but it is surprising he can write that and get away with it. I can think of several airlines in which that is a no-no and can get called in for it.
