I eventually lost my $h1t with him while enroute to God only knows where (Columbus, Ohio, I think) in a Saab 340B. Lost my $h1t. Went ballistic. Later on in the hotel, over beers, he apologized, but admitted that he is who he is, and he realized he was a PITA, but admitted he’d likely never change, which I respected. But still...
Hahaha...I got into it with him in a 0500 van because he wouldn’t shut up about some little issue. Turned and asked his name, then as he tried to continue, I told him to shut up because I only wanted to know his name so I would never have to fly with him...and he wasn’t even on my equipment. The dead look in his FOs eyes told the story of how that 4 day was going.
That was also the point I realized I was ready to upgrade 😂
