Show me a fork lift operator that has a folder containing a liability insurance coverage statement equal or more than my piece of equipment.
Mine is $1,000,000,000
That's right, one Billion.
One more thing. Try carrying yourself like a fork lift operator instead of a leader around a crew of 10 Flight Attendants, 3 Gate Agents, 2 Mechanics, 1 Crew Chief, a company hack Dispatcher and station manager, a pilot pushing Chief Pilot, 200+ passengers, all pushing their own agenda. Let me know how it works out.
I've been the FO for leadership voids like the above situation. It degenerates real quickly into public school class with a weak substitute teacher.
Runner up Tool? Yup.

There is a story out there that the first time the Eastern MEC Chairmen met Frank Borman he addressed him as Mister Borman. Borman then asked to be called "Col. Borman". The MEC Chairman than pulled out his military ID and said "Fine, you can call me General". Don't know if it is true but I hope so

I wouldn't advocate that... it might discourage others from being tools. Then what would we do for laughs? Those laughs and to check and see if I'm on here, is the only reason I still come around to this forum. Let's just let the disgrace of his scabbing (and his obvious toolishness) become what he is remembered for.

The uniform we wear is a costume and the "title" we have is also just for show. We arnt captains or "officers". These things were created by military pilots to make the transition better to civilian life in the 40s and 50s, the only title we have is "pilot". Some people need to check their egos at the door. This is just a job to collect a paycheck we're not saving lives or doing science. We have more in common with a fork lift operator than a doctor.
