The kind that’s gonna chew my ass out for not checking in or the kind that’s gonna chew my ass out because I did check-in and bothered him?

I know you are a troll. You know how I know?

I've had a few people do it on flights I operate and I prefer it that way. I don't want to talk to or see your face.

None of those 3 times were when I was the captain. And IDGAF what you prefer. My company requires me to check your credentials, regardless where you are sitting. If you would walk to the back without checking in, I would walk you back out. Especially with your attitude.

And I probably would not know he was even on the "jet", because I am definitely not the uniform police. But BitterAAhole just does not sound very likeable.
