Wow, did you feel this guy/gal was a dangerous pilot or did you just not like him/her? Comments like that will pretty much derail career progression at most airlines, pretty hard core. I've flown with good guys and I've also flown with "less than good" guys. I've recommended a few, I've also declined to recommend a few; I've 'black-balled' none. I'll change that statistic only if I run into a pilot I find unsafe. Just my worthless ½ ¢ on the subject.
