Very True. The LAX Captains are, as a group, pretty cool. I did fly out of ATL at one time and although still pretty rare, the "tool" percentage seemed a bit higher than LAX.
I disagree with Captains being allowed to avoid guys for a couple of reasons:
First off, the Captains are in charge, they are supposed to be leaders. Having to put an FO on an avoid list is a total leadership failure.
Second, if for whatever reason CRM becomes degraded due to personality conflicts the Captain can always have the FO removed from the trip.
