I don't smoke and think it's not on tp smoke in the cockpit for several reasons. It's against the rules, smokers are now a minority, and many nonsmokers have strong objections to smoke around them. (I don't think it's a flight safety issue but that's not the debate here so I won't go into that.)
The sympathy I'd have had for fmc_apprentice disappeared because of his atitude. He all but identifed his company in his first post and if that wasn't bad enough he then went all the way. All this on a public forum.
There are lots of ways he could have sorted this out without revealing his own ID and without damaging his company. He hides behind the anonymity we all have on Prune but he has no quarms about naming his company.
He's got no loyalty and if he gets weeded out for any reason they'll be better off with one less whinger who's prepared to damage the company image for his own ends.
He's the pain in the butt type who'll always find something to whinge about. If it wasn't this it would be something else.
I wouldn't want to work with him.

Just because people don't agree with your point of view doesn't mean they're not "getting it".
