Can NetJets Pilots Not Be Friendly?

Seems like all I read in the regional airline pilot forum is bickering back and fourth about sticking your head in the cockpit to say hello, and completely stripping yourself of your uniform to make a quick stop for gas driving home from a trip.
You guys are something else...

These pilots often (almost always) travel out of uniform too, and they have travel banks, so they often do choose which airline to fly (within reason).
I doubt many of them stick their heads into the flight deck, but I never see threads like this in the cargo forum. I guess it is all about wearing the uniform, honestly. You just look too much like a jumpseater, I guess.

Most of the Netjet pilots i see in the terminal have their nose so high in the air it's amazing they can see ahead of them to find their gate. Just an observation. Maybe many of them have forgotten their "RJ roots". It wasnt that long ago that Netjets was a sh*tty place to work and unfortunatley, probaby will be again one day. Its the nature of the business. The mighty always fall. Just a matter of when

I've always found the NJA pilots I've met to be quite friendly. Both in the airline terminal and in the FBO.

By and large NetJets guys are GREAT!! (One tool in LAS who gave me the "hummmph" when I asked if he could spare a second or two checking email and surfing the net while I file a flight plan). But that guy aside they are normal, even keeled guys with a good attitude.
Runny nose RJ fo's, on the other hand, with their bleached hair, ipod wearin, back pack totin, "tude".....
I've been in the mighty CRJ and have moved on. Now some kid is mad cause I don't pay enough respect to him when I'm the paying passenger getting slapped around on his SJS ego trip?!?!?!
Okay..."Thank you fellow Aviatior. Your professional attitude, diligence and attention to detail have once again moved a grateful and adoring group of citizens through the dangerous skies to avoid peril and deliver us safely to our loved ones with speed and skill. Oh how do you do it? One can only wonder. Please continue your personal sacrifice to deliver us from the surly bonds of earth to join the mirth of sun split clouds in undersized seats complete with crabby stewardesses. Your undying devotion to duty has, once again, capped off a truly long week for me."
Happy?

It was always nice to have a kind word durning a long day or behind schedule with a quick turn on our hands.
FWIW, I have been to First at TEB and it reminds me of our old operations during a push. Airlines world colliding with Corporate world.... it was kind of odd! Not your typical FBO.
