Not the best representative for spirit but I would have no problem flying with him again.
And for the other ones you describe how does any of those behaviors warrant a no fly. Probably not the best of our co workers but seriously all that stuff seems pretty tolerable.
No offense but I’m getting a big “birds of a feather, flock together” vibe here. I can’t think of one time I have ever been bothered with cologne from a pilot or FA.
How can you excuse some of the notorious actions of our worst as being “tolerable” but if someone wears cologne, they should “leave it at home, it’s not a club”
“Take your cologne off,” “put your big boy pants on,” etc.....great attitude
