Yes Fooey, you are right!
Its a sad fact that there are pilots out there with no sense of self dignity who tolerate this kind of treatment from managers(ie singa snake behaviour) and as a result lower the standards for the rest of us. Its almost a masochistic type of behaviour.
A reflection of some deeper personal problems perhaps?
I'm not qualified to go into that, but you do have to wonder why someone accepts that kind of culture, AND THEN TRY TO SUPPORT IT ON FORUMS LIKE THIS????
