Is that what we're supposed to do when we fly into SDF ????

I seemed to have missed that memo.

... grumpy old captains at majors or fedex/ups ...
Part of the initial Captain checkout used to be a required score of at least 8 on the grump-o-meter. Recent developments in the profession have made this unnecessary, since even new-hires are meeting the standard.

its not an old captains fault for being "grumpy," its just what happens after 25 years of being in the industry. i hope to get there someday, with as little grumpiness as possible, although id rather just be a career widebody FO. i just think that youre more likely to have a good time with a young single crew than you will with an older crew. its science
