Centaurus, when I was hired into a major airline the rift between the ex wartime decorated aircrew and those who were known as the "draft dodgers" made for the most nasty work environment one could imagine, most of it coming from the non ex -military group, {with a few notable exceptions}. I think some of these guys used O.P. Jones as a model for their juvenile behavior, I flew one month as F/E/ Second Pilot when the left seat refused to talk to the right seat, instead passed all messages through me , towards the end of the month I booked of sick having tired of this crap, by then even the cabin crew we in on the game, mixing up the "Sky Gods' meal orders and drinks, CRM? not a sign of it!
