As an FO the biggest issues I had with captains, where those who had authority issues (treated my like a baby, micromanaged, acted like pricks), didn't care for my input, or just generally didn't care what I had to say about anything. There are some a-holes out there, but it's been my experience they are few and far between. For the most part the people I don't want to fly with again are people that had a personality I just didn't mesh with.
These are things that I try avoid. With everything going on politics seems unavoidable but I usually nod my head and if its something I don't agree with I don't say anything. This usually gets them to change the subject or just be quiet. I'm not big on political or religious debates anyway. There are guys too that think there was is king when in reality there are many different ways to skin a cat. As long as its safe and legal i'm fine.
