I Think a lot of that good meaning thinking goes out the window in the real world. You buy an airline you buy it's pilots. You kinda got forced into the compass flow. There may be more mergers in the future and with rapid growth you have to fill seats or planes don't go. Never mind a guy goes through a horrifying divorce and he's dead inside for 2 years, not everyone does that balance well and HR screening ain't gonna help.

Luckily 95% of pilots get along well enough at work not to destroy QOL of those around them, and you can bid away from some of the weirdo's. Except for about two in any group i even get along with the weirdos or at least i think i do.
