By no means should those scenarios be used to base your own no fly list on.
Also keep in mind, if you use no fly lists, you may lose out on a good schedule. Check your PBS results, it will tell you how many lines were filtered out due to your "no fly list"
I got a top 5 list from several captains who used to fly with these guys as FOs. It's the same 5 all the time (in PHX). I decided to give each a chance. Of the ones I've flown with they definitely should be on most people's. They are a holes. A couple are just not good pilots or lack decent situational awareness. Or they insist their "technique" (even if it's nonstandard) is the only way to fly and make you fly that way. I get along with most of them though. I don't keep a no fly list in my bid but I drop/swap trips with some of them if I can.
