Wow the 99% strike vote and you think that would have gone just fine? Then the same group passes a crappy contract because the fear factor? 99% is pretty easy when you know you won't actually have to go on strike. This collective group would get slaughtered.

Babaganoush, if you're reading this you'll appreciate the menu of life option.

The menu of life is limited for first officers who have fly with those they have ill will towards. Quit and get a job elsewhere where one feels this will not be an issue. The other, do your job as you are expected to. Be a contributing member towards the entire crew. At the end of your duty day, go to the hotel, lock yourself in your room, scream into your pillow, go to sleep, wake up the next morning, report for work, and do your job as your D/O and captain expect you to do. Place the bloke on your personal no fly list when you return to base.

For captains, perhaps a bit more latitude. Quit and get a job elsewhere where one feels this will not be an issue. Make a name for yourself with scheduling by calling in sick every time you are paired with any who you feel that you do not wish to fly with. Otherwise, show up for work, act professional towards all your crewmembers, and run a safe trip. At the end of the day, you can go to the hotel, lock yourself in your room, scream into your pillow, go to sleep, wake up the next morning, report for work, and continue to do your job as you are expected to do by your D/O. Place the bloke on your personal no fly list when you return to base.

Better question, what does it say about the "older" generation of pilots?

You know, the ones that look down on the "regional" pilots for how they "ruin the career" blah blah blah etc etc etc............
