There is a simple thing that is often forgotten in today's world. Its called "courtesy". You know, saying "Hello" to other people around you, especially when they are your coworkers.

I don't care what the company policy is, if you walk into your crew room and you see your company crew members, what the hell is wrong with not saying hello and maybe starting a conversation? Whether its policy or not, you just don't walk right past your coworkers in this line of work without saying a word.

I ran in a crew environment for years doing Search and Rescue. You treat your crewmembers with respect and you establish a friendly relationship with those you rely on. Some pilots think that FA's are just the "ladies in the back". That attitude is crap and you know it. When pilots start walking around with a chip on their shoulder where they can't even say hello and be friendly with their own crew, than what do you think happens in an emergency? They are not "just" Flight Attendants, they are critical to the safety of the passengers and us. After all, if our passengers aren't safe than what exactly are we doing at work?

You can come up with every excuse for this crew, but really nobody is going to buy it. This is exactly why pilots are so divided everywhere. If you can't even show some friendly courtesy to your own company crew members, than I'd rather not share a safety sensitive position with you. Period.
