I'd rather not go into too much detail but part of being an "airline pilot" involves working as a CREW and having each other's back.
Hey now, don't go sending over to the freight dawg side. There is really no difference between you average airline pilot and the average freight pilot personality wise. Even if he flew on the the freight side, he'd still be disliked by just as many people. We actually are probably just as hands on with our customers than the airline pilot. Except we can't hide behind that big metal door when explaining to the customer why we're late or can't carry that extra 2000lbs of cargo. There are no flight attendants to handle that part for me. And there's also dispatch, line guys, other pilots, and etc... to deal with also.
