A lot of the guys are scared, worried for the future, concerned that their age will count against them in the shrinking job market. I know a couple of 767 only LAME's that I reckon have aged noticeably in the last couple of weeks. I can't criticize these kinds of people if they want to make a bit of hay, against the gloomy future...
Being told to grow a spine (by a kid) or called a greedy pr1ck by the guy whose wages I pay makes me about as angry as I can get. I'm going to give this place a miss for a while. It's bad for my health.
