I agree, super douchey comment, even if just joking (wrong audience).
Reminds me of a time we took a jumpseater on a transcon to connect with his NY base (and his EU redeye later that evening). Little way into the flight, we are chatting, and the guy says he's year one at widget and on the 330. CA, my CA, visibly takes great offense to this, and begins his excuse matrix of how he tried to get hired there for years but they weren't hiring. JS guy (and me) were confused when he mentioned he had been trying since 2017/2018. Some of the greatest years of hiring over there. Huh? Guy I was flying with was a nice enough dude, but he couldn't help himself from busting this JS'ers balls all the way to NY. It was awkward, and not exactly the impression I felt like we should be giving.
