Not true. Had an F/O (She's a Captain now) who just liked to sit quietly and knit on transcons and transpacs. Great gal, good stick and fun to be around...she just didn't like to banter all that much.

I can easily and frequently do fly 6 hours without idle chit chat....Never have understood the need to “vomit” all over a complete stranger. Frequently never have seen or heard of the copilot before and likely will not see them again....and likely dont want to see or hear from them again either.....Layovers are to get a little rest and time away from the stranger that you are trapped like a rat with in a 6’x5’ cell for hours on end
Wish I would've thought of that...!! Bullseye!

Absolutely. Just from some of the more rabid postings on this thread who have already stated they would refuse to fly with her at all. It's easy enough to envision a few comments degenerating into an "I won't fly with this flaming *********" situation, and unless someone kept the cockpit audio it would be impossible for the CP and HR to sort out the he said-she said.
For that matter, HR and legal might be frightened half to death that the young lady, WHO IS ALREADY SUING THE COMPANY, might be very happy to fly with - and record - the most misogynist pilots in the company to bolster her case and to demonstrate the company is NOT providing her with a workplace free of misogynist comments.
I imagine Alaska HR and management will be treading softly with this young lady until there is some resolution ACCEPTABLE TO HER and even then, if she remains in Alaska's employ, they will be falling all over themselves to investigate every allegation she makes about every male coworker who offends her. Given the level of hatred leveled at her in some of these posts, it ought to be interesting times - in the Chinese curse sense of the expression.
