"I have never been told either by my instructors or fellow
pilots that I AM THE BEST, some people on her live with the assumption that
klm pilots are brain washed to think they are the TOP GUNS of commercial aviation. I don't know where they get it from....."


Well... I know exactly where some KLM pilots get told that and where they
get it from: the KLM Flight Acadamy (KLS). I've seen it and heard it myself.
Singing songs during the introduction week like: we are the Chosen
ones etc.

One can spot the difference between a KLS and Non KLS KLM pilot a mile
away. Young second officers claiming seniority and airplane types.Attitude
problems arising from the KLS system have been a major problem for a long
time and have been well documented over the years.

In all fairness: most KLM pilots are fine folk, some of them are slightly
deluded by a questionable mentality at their flying school.
