Speaking of hijacks. Years ago I read a book of aviation anecdotes written by an Aussie who'd worked his way up to either AN or TN.
One story was about a Bushies DC3 skipper who allegedly used to fly starkers, as a protest against management for not allowing a tropical type uniform.
On being invited for tea and bikkies after a complaint made by a F/A who walked into the flt deck to find said skipper reclined in the chair, feet on instrument panel, family jewels proudly on display, the skipper allegedly said it was his method of deterring hijackers, and the proof was that in x yrs of flying, he'd never been hijacked.

I understand where you're coming from. There is still some civility, and a lot that can be learned from these pages though.
