Firestorm...Dear oh dear. I said DONT wear chinos.
Anyway. Its only the straight captains that feel the need to help the hosties and act like some Alpha male "I'll take care of things".MMM I wonder why.
Lots of commendable reasons have been put forward but they all mask the real reasons for such behaviour. Ingratiation is a form of compensation for a lack of confidence in your leadership skills. We in the gay community wouldnt dream of it and quite frankly dont need to do it.
I dont need or crave approval to exercise real leadership and the habits discussed here are neither leadership or good CRM.

As for standards well if you consider having to help out to achieve your turnaround in a loco, isnt that a manifestation of selling the industry down the river by prostituting yourself in order to get that magical 3000 hr command and perpetuating such monstrosities as RYR et al
