Had another who just came off medical leave and seemed very distracted, had to correct him a couple of times with low airspeed and trying to land on the wrong runway at IAD. Had a USAirways Captain that talked to God, and received responses . Had another one who flew P3's in the Navy and had a fairly serious narcissistic personality disorder. But he flew OK so I didn't care. He would go to dinner with new hire F/A's and then split the bill down to the penny. He got a lot of 1st dates but very few 2nd dates. He was the only pilot in his old Navy Squadron not invited to the reunion. I think most larger operations usually have their small % of oddball pilots.
My favorite captain was the one who carried around a binder around and had a bunch of info on his iPhone/iPad about a species of part alien, part human beings that live underground. I just wish they would save that loony crap for day 4 or 5, and not on day 1 leg 1....
