Yup. We had our fair share of a-holes for sure. Fortunately, the racist one from FLL took the VSP. There’s still some others left to go.
What I find fascinating in a weird way is that we have so many more unpleasant types in the right seat than the left seat which is contrary to my three previous airlines.
My best guess is that it’s due to the repetitive and mind-numbing nature of our flying and the long upgrade times. Simply put, FOs are ready for upgrade years before they get the chance to.
