I'm curious, would you really actually deny me a jumpseat over APC quarrels?
Also trying to ruin someones career over the internet is a little extreme. Now if you flew with someone and knew them personally I could understand it a little more if you felt so strongly.
I agree with this. I've come across cases where one thing was written and then when talking in person, they meant something else. Or sarcasm was missed. Bottom line, I cannot judge someone in person for online posts, until I get to know (or fly with) in-person.

I got accused of this on airlinks back in the day, but I don't ever recall telling guys to quit so I could move up. Now I may have joked "you're still here!" with some of the vocal CAs over there, but all in good fun and not saying they were holding me down career-wise. Bloch is the one primarily responsible for that, not you or your colleagues. There was one particular FO (who was fired, and then the union got his job back) who was very vocal and talked along those lines like you are saying. Maybe I was confused for him.
