3 minutes.
I think a page or two of that was you complaining about having to wait 30 seconds at the Nexus line.
I was delayed 7 hours connecting overseas due to a “technical” issue. Reading stories out just the last couple of days, I got off easy. Maybe cause someone showed too drunk to fly, for all I know. Am I allowed to complain about that?

There are a million and one possibilities why this pilot might have done what he did,
That's all assuming that the account is reliable. I have a difficult time seeing a colleague elbow someone out of the way.

There is a frame of mind where one accepts someone's report of another's perfidy and is able empathize with it, without having to form a definite conclusion about its veracity. It's very helpful for listening to children, too.

Funny. Do you wear your 4 bars flight instructor uniform in the Scarborough mall too, to impress the teen girls at the food court?

Funny.
Not a shred of humour was intended, I assure you. I'm sorry you were offended by the pilot in uniform. I don't have to form a view of whether he actually pushed past you, or you misinterpreted the situation, in order to say that.

You guys all think you’re full of yourselves. The absolute definition of professionalism inside and out of the cockpit. Its a Bizarre attitude to the rest of us peons. Take the ego trip down a notch. Humility helps in what is a service position in the end — serving the public. That is all I am saying.

Sorry to bust your ballon. If you were such professionals, none of the airline horror stories that you see in the news would be happening, because captains wouldn’t stand for it.

Writing this is a waste of time. 95% of you couldn’t care less. BTD is the only poster I saw that appeared to show a different attitude.
