Default Block List

I have heard at Southwest they allow pilots to add people they don't want to fly with again to a block list. They will then not get any more trips with said pilot.

Is there anything like this at your company?

There would be a lot more crashes if a company did not have one.

I remember a FO who used to brag about all the captains he put on his avoid list.

I'm thinking those Captains are probably the lucky ones then.

Sooner or later, management has to limit this. It has the potential to:

A. Black-list certain captains and FOs
B. Create dissention in the cockpit when it becomes known (and it will)
D. Make Scheduling tear out their hair
E. Allow 'crew feelings' to run the airline

The concept of not pairing people who can't get along may improve CRM in the short term, but it undermines the professionalism of the pilots in both seats.

What were they(mgmt) thinking? Where's the union in this?

At SkyWest we have "bid avoid" for PBS, so it only works for line holders. If you're on reserve, you get what you get.

It's typically used very sparingly. Somebody has to really rub you the wrong way for you to go through the trouble. And if someone has enough people blacklisting them, management really ought to deal with that person anyway. Never heard of that happening though, since this isn't commonly done.
