744Cap. I Tend to agree with you about the spirit of the law thing.
But at the same time, I like to feel comfortable with whoever sits on my own flight deck. Ok, granted, I may not get much of a choice where rostered crew are concerned. However when it comes to the bit of real estate that I do have some control over(j/s), it's nice to give it away to someone in need and someone you can get along with.
