It’s better for the CA’s - they can be the sh*t filter and insulate the other employees from the FO more from the FO can insulate others from the Captain.

I cringe when the CA is a d bag to our FAs. Nothing will make your trip worse than an inflight group that hates the pilots.

One thing that I've done lately is to not answer when they ask about political views as inevitably it comes up on the first leg or two. Some of these guys need to watch it in our new world, I have pretty thick skin but there are liberal and or gay pilots out there who aren't pro boots and guns who will easily take offense to the crap they are spewing. Oh and it's a double cringe when they start off with "the problem with the blacks" which can be heard through the door and our black #1 hears it. Note this is generally directed to the nAAtive folks...

Maybe I’m isolated from this on the E190, but I haven’t had to deal with any of this. I would walk out of that cockpit so fast.

Part of my brief includes 'I like to keep race, religion, politics, and porn out of the cockpit'.

Does make it really tough for a few.

The LUS side was vastly different. Plus the E190 is a younger crowd as well.

I haven’t seen or heard anything close to the past few posts for what it’s worth.

There is a new "that guy" in CLT. A320 captain, seems to be doing a great job of alienating F/Os and F/As. I heard a couple of amazing things from my last two F/Os that flew with him. I suggested a call to pro standards.

Does he have a hatred for paper clips?

I heard a notorious one transferred from MIA to CLT.
