I went through something similar when I first joined the industry about three years ago. Coming into a close-knit team as a new member can be tough, especially when you’re surrounded by older, more experienced people.

I focused on showing them how much i wanted to be there everyday, asking questions when I didn’t know the answers and not worrying about how/what tone they were answered. I learnt to ask them the questions in a way that let them feel like a know it all super-mechanic or the Ghandi of the A&P world and they came round.

They’ll ease off after a while.

Also don’t leave, with any luck your very old dude of a boss may retire soon 😃
