The base captain is the one who calls the pilots on their days off to ask them why they didn't do a second RVSM check on a flight three weeks previous, the base supervisor is the one who gives disciplinary meetings to cabin crew for not selling enough Boxerchips.
You forgot the part where the base captain chases FOs around the crew room prodding them with a stick until they upgrade.
Maybe its why the cabin crew members liked him.
