The problem here is that the staff are basically DMV rejects - little Hitlers with a ninth-grade education, too much power, no common sense and a grudge against mankind. I detest the whole thing and haven't flown for close to two years because of it(except when unavoidable.) If I feel this way as a passenger, I can't begin to imagine how it feels to be treated this way as a pilot. This is the kind of thing that makes one realize how the Nazis were able to take over - it happens when sad, stupid, unhappy, misanthropic people are handed power, and it's one of the least attractive traits of human nature.
Thank God not everyone behaves that way..
