Hmmm,
Unfortunately this thread has the feel of one of the z-list celebrity "Don't you know who I am?" threads. Spot the pilot, stood in the airport lounge with dark glasses and headscarf, trying hard to 'avoid' the press photograpers.........
It gives the distinct impression that airline crews believe they deserve to be carried in some golden throne, shoulder high by a team of slaves, whilst some other fawning lickspittles scatter rose petals and palm fronds in front of them. Then seated in the aircraft where there are wafted with ostrich feather fans and fed grapes whilst annointed with fragrant oils.
As 'professionals' it would be nice to be seen to act as professionals, instead of just demanding to be treated as such.
