EngvPilots
Interesting Question. As a serving Emb Capt with 10 years commercial flying experience and 15 years as a Boeing Licenced Engineer I do remember a number of Pilots taking a condiscending and overbearing attitude toward me when I was engineering(but that was Britannia/Thomson). Personnely, I did,nt tar all Pilots with the same brush but some of my engineering colleages did, thus a degree of hostility. Maybe human nature to assume "they,re all the same". I can say I,ve worked and flown with some top people and also some absolute assholes.
