captplaystation,
Spot on. I could have written the same story several tmes over. I too have experienced incredibly rude, disrespectful and unfriendly CC at STN(mainly) whilst jumpseating, despite wearing the captain's uniform of the company they work for. I find it quite soul-destroying. I try to treat everyone, no matter who they are or which position they hold, with politeness and respect. This does not apply to everyone (there are a few very notable exceptions), but I fear the further east (europe) one may originate the ruder one may be.
