Thanks for the answers. Typhoon you metion that only the incompetent pilots get grief at the airline and I assume that is from the mangement pilots. How do the line pilots treat or act around the DECs that are competent and buy the first round on layovers?
Say what you will about LHR guy but he does have a point and I realise that point. I saw first hand how the Continental pilots were treated in 1983 and it was not pleasant. No I was not one of those pilots that crossed the picket line but happened to be living in IAH at the time.
Thanks again
