I can neither confirm or deny there is an "avoid list" of MD88 captains.
Speaking of which, I need to find the person who updates it.....got a name to add to this hypothetical document

And some guys need to be taken off. I have flown with a couple on the "list" that were fine. Weird as all hell, but aren't we all?

When I was an 88 fo I flew with some of those guys and for the most part the list is accurate. 4 that I remember that were just terrifible and Hermanator was prorbably the best of four. Maybe they were Buckle Boys four horsemen.

Front end deviations, how do I get from airport to hotel? Is it on me or can I call limo and move it? Or crew accomodations.

Non airport layover.

It's on you. Often however you can catch a ride with another crew or if you are arriving about the same person time catch the scheduled transport.

I really don't think that's appropriate. I don't see how that accomplishes anything positive. If you really feel strongly about it have the nerve to tell them ito their face and why you feel that way. Maybe it would modify their behavior, but to scratch it on their retirement picture seems like a chicken s__t thing to do. JMO.
