Your Mama probably told you that you are not going to like everybody and not everyone is going to like you but you should try to get along anyway. And, you should not launder your dirty underwear in public. Threads like this demonstrate that she knew what she was talking about. (A public forum is NO PLACE to air this out PERIOD)

At the 50% level, if you can't avoid flying with your unfavored Captain maybe a good education on PBS bidding is in order or maybe you have too many "avoid flying with" on your bid and that may require a little self-reflection instead.
I disagree here to some extent. Interpersonal conflicts are often very subtle, and there is a tendency, even among experienced first officers, to ask the question, "Is it me, or is it this other person?"

Sometimes it's helpful to bounce these experiences off of a colleague. These boards, albeit public, allow some of us to share those experiences and get some much needed feedback. Naming names, although tempting, may not be the best course, but seeking advice and finding you are not alone can be very therapeutic.

My 2 cents.
