That is VERY GOOD advice. If enough people followed your advice, problem Captains would have a lot of face time in the flight office explaining why they are so difficult to fly with. Years ago, before the do-not-fly-with came into being, I had a lot of issues with a well-know psychopath Captain. This man thrived on conflict and was well-known inside the flight office. I finally called Pro-stan and to my surprise received a phone call from the committee chairperson who said they have a very thick file on the individual and that I SHOULD CALL IN SICK when paired up to fly with him. I REFUSED. I told the Pro-stan guy that if I call in sick then he wins! He told me that the Captain will say that I can't fly and that's why he gets so upset. I said "well get an LCA to ride with me but I'm not calling in sick". It was never resolved so I left the fleet for a different jet. That's how I resolved it. I wish I had your advice back then because that would have been a great solution.Originally Posted by skypest
Call your local flight manager. Explain to them that you will not be working with this pilot. They can either deal with it now or one hour prior to departure when you remind them again. Remind them that this pilot is on your no fly list and that is for a reason ( use the cuss words emphasis on Unsafe ). More than likely they will pull the trip with no pay and you can pick something else up.Don't waste your time with pro standards.
