The Captains I like flying with understand that a two day growth is part of my identity and not an attempt to become a Hipster. They don’t get all awkes when I apply lip balm while staring at them in cruise and they totally understand the benefits of sending acars messages to base while in busy terminal airspace. If we get vectors off track and VNAV is sucking they remind me which one of those stupid old modes will work until ATC stop mucking us up. Basically, I like flying with the smart ones.
