A very good and clear analogy Albert. However there were those Capts who flying at FL350 who thought they were nearer to God than anyone else and acted like it. On the other hand there were some who were perfectly normal guys who acted 'in the spirit' of the crew. In other words what happened in the Hiltons and Sheretons of the world stayed there.
However whilst there are the 'whistle blowers' then flying has become less fun. I'm glad I'm out of it now.
