Dear 4Rvibes,
But I am not young! and I have the ear to ear parting to prove it. I've been working in aviation for 29 years. I don't think there is any place anywhere for being rude to anyone, Hitler/Saddam/Thatcher or Reagan perhaps being the exception that proves the rule. Politeness costs nothing and can go a great way towards getting pelople in disparate groups to work together where old animosity can otherwise lead to failure to co-operate.
I need engineers to keep me and my crew/passengers alive, you need us to fly the aircraft to pay the mortgage amoungst many other reasons.
