And I bet nobody is willing to say "This one time, I called ready after another flight, and I got to go first....but I declined and said, no no, after you". Swings and roundabouts. Just accept you don't have the full picture and what happens happens. Does it come out of your paycheck? No? Let it go.....ATC gives priority to whom it fits best, not by the colour of their tail. Nothing to see here.
