Suggesting pilots don't often bid with their ego in mind makes me think you've never actually MET a pilot. Or your situational awareness is so absent you can't see what's right in front of you.

I find interesting ways to entertain myself. One guy I fly with regularly, has to tell me at least once a trip, every trip, that his house is "a million dollars". Every trip.
