Had a Frontier captain JS with us recently. He waited for a good time to get our attention and not interrupt anything. Starts with the usual "Captain, I'm so and so... " shakes his hand. I turn to greet him as well, but he doesn't even once look at me, acknowledge my presence, or anything. Had me thinking you're one of those people I've read about. Hey man, FOs are people too lol

Your post just reeks of complete bullsh*t. Don’t believe that happened at all. I think you’re just mad st United for some reason, and this little yarn just makes you feel better. Consider yourself called out.

I’m sorry you took this as a United bashing story because that’s not what it was. Every company has their old balls and this guy happened to be one that day. Come on over maybe a hug will make you feel better.

But it’s an extreme minority of the population so there is that.

In the end, just about every pilot there is going to eventually be working for one of the big ones, so who really cares.
"Thanks for flying Delta, American, United.........have a nice day."
