There is no room whatsoever for rudeness or arrogance in the air.
In the case of the Spanish ATC's relationship with Spanish operators; I find it unprofessional and rude in the extreme to be given an extra 10-15 miles of vectoring to fit in a Binter or Iberia from a higher level in front of us.
Though not an excuse for the ill-considered utterances of my college, I understand the sentiment.
99% of the guys at Britannia are courteous and professional airmen/airwomen 100% of the time.
Flying Scotsman, you are a little miss guided if you think that working for one of the best Airlines in the world involves just "flogging a 767 around Europe"
Thankfully, in my experience, courtesy in the air is still alive and well
Apologies to those offended the other night by my college.
