Yeah, but an air intake is for receiving additional air intake so wouldn't that actually mean that the person who uses likes to "receive more"
Anyway....
I just write it off a Stiles being a douchebag. Sort of like when he was mouthing off to Scotty about breaking the Enterprise's speed-record. The guy was a pompous dill hole that probably had half the fleet pissed off at him. he's probably the sort that hailed every senior officer or crewman he served with that looked at him crossed eye and bragged about his new command.
There's a reason Sikking was cast. It was basically the same character he was playing on Hill Street.
Wow this thread got quite a few replys.
I guess this is what happens when you ask a simple question about why the captain likes to hold his stick on the bridge.

Maybe Captain Stiles found the Elder Wand and thought he could actually use it as the... Deathstick...
You know... it never occurred to me that anyone watching TSFS wouldn't know what a swagger stick was.
But I'm damned if I know what those things you just mentioned are.
You haven't read "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?"
The buttons helped transform the average 23rd century swagger stick into a high-tech, 23rd century adult toy.
I see. That would be correct.
Just had a "fanfic" image, I suppose...
Well, of course according to the dropped line in ST II (and McInytre's novelizations of ST II-IV), it was originally to have been Sulu's ship, so Styles was even more an interloper.
Perhaps Kirk pulled some strings to get Styles in instead of Sulu in order to protect Sulu. If Sulu succeeds in stopping Kirk than Spock is dead, if Sulu fails it will appear as though he did it on purpose and his career is over.
Of course, this only works if Kirk was planning to steal the Enterprise from the get-go. But it's possible he is sufficiently well-versed in bureacracy to know Morrow won't say "yes" when he asks.

It was Styles (ST III), not Andrew Stiles (TOS).
