This reminds me of a story I once heard relating to a certain airline during the seventies that is now sadly no longer with us.

Apparently due staff shortages or a mistake by the rostering people, I forget which. Two captains had been scheduled to operate a short continental flight with an overnight stop and return sector.

A major arguement started between the two captains on discovering this as too who should sit in which seat, resulting in near fisticuffs.

Eventually the dispute was settled peacefully and the flight was carried out uneventfully.

However The Captain who had won the day and commanded the flight had a surprise in store the next day. The loser (pre-empting a similar situation occuring) had turned up for work having sewn an extra gold braid stripe on too his uniform overnight.





(N.B maybe more situable for jetblast but i thought it as valid
