Aussie Bob, please don't go cherry picking my posts to make it seem like I'm saying something I'm not. If you're going to do that use the whole post some people don't miss parts like this:
"If they are being pricks about it then surely there must be some way to report them, perhaps someone can shed some light on that process instead?"
So NO, I dont think "bad behavior and a lack of common sense are part of the job description and therefor excused" as I said, if they are doing that then I'm sure there is a method for reporting them, just as if you or I did something wrong in our jobs or put our passengers ill at ease they would be within their rights to report us to our Chief Pilots or other Management.
