Why not just say " an EK 777 F.O."? Why does this have to be an issue of nationality? Rude, arrogant, and stupid people come from every country. Remember the 10% rule. Unfortunately for those of us from the States Bush is in the 10%
Again, that is assuming this guy was in the wrong. I once made a request to Brisbane immigration when our entire crew were going thru one dedicated lane after returning from Auckland. You know, the one where you are dead tired after multiple time zone changes They were taking about 5 minutes per crew member for some unknown reason. A large number of other counters were open and manned with no passengers waiting. The request I made was reasonable and stated nicely. The response received was sarcastic and rude. I let it go, but I could see how someone might get a little angry at them if they made the same type of response.
