Skyward,
I thought we had a GREAT pairing! Couldn’t have been better! You were such a nice captive audience.
When I FO’d, I didn’t use the A-Bid. I figured a strong offense was the best defense. Kind of a challenge.
On occasion, I sat with someone who raised flags, and I watched more closely. If my concerns were validated, I would start calling them out on their shenanigans. Because attitudes often go hand in hand with deviations. Make them avoid me.
I flew 1/2 of a 3-day with a Reserve-by-Choice captain who called out sick for a day-prior assignment because the FO was “a real jerk”. I knew the other FO, and he was a great guy, and a professional unwilling to tolerate stupidity. Forewarned. Sure enough, this CA did stupid things. I called him out, he got angry. I never flew with him again. His choice, maybe.
So Skyward, if you still feel you must, my employee number is I-P-D-A-N-N-O.
I always thought we made made a great team.
