THINALBERT,
Respect, from what I read in your posting should be automatically given to a Captain because he has 4 gold bars, some scrambled egg on his/her hat and because they have the company's endorsement. I have to disagree. been a first officer now for about 6 years with various company's and quite frankly have flown with some absolute to$$ers. Rude both to me and cabin crew, a trip to Bahrain once resulted in the skipper getting absolutely legless, vomiting in front of his crew and knocking on a few doors on his way back to the hotel room.(he did have 72hours before he next operated.) I believe Captain's should be setting an example what kind of example is this. Admittedly these examples are by far in the minority but no wonder some crew get the @rse with us if they see people behaving like this.
