It's amazing to me that you find so many people that you hate when the majority of the pilots like almost everyone they fly with. When you're the 1% you're the one who is the problem, not the rest of us.
I actually have enjoyed CCB's post on the internal forums when he participated more. Never flown with him, and I don't think I would have a problem since I never pretend to be doing anything other than my job and willing to do things the way the Captain wants. Would I do things different? Perhaps, but until I take the plunge, I will continue to learn from all the different CA's I fly with and use that knowledge someday.
Funny thing is there is a notorious CA that is #1 bid avoid in my domicile. When I got a trip with him, I was so freaked out by the stories I had heard. Did the trip and he was actually a decent guy. Can I see why everyone bid avoids him? Yep, and I probably wouldn't pick up an OT trip with him but that is just because there are lots of CA's that I enjoy flying with and would pick up a trip with them first.
Bottom line is that while it may be a little extreme, CCB speaks the truth or at least he speaks about what he sees.

He came home to his stuff out on the driveway and ended up with 800.00 monthly child support and what amounts to adjustable alimony. The judge wanted to make sure his wife got her share of his upgrade money...
Do the math, stick it in a F/A at your own peril, having a child with someone ties you to them for the rest of your life, so when you look down at that hot High School Grad F/A, who has her hand around your unwrapped schlong, and is guiding it towards her baby maker, ask yourself, when you were in high school, she was one of the ones/types who laughed at you in the cafeteria, what has changed.
Nothing, except your future earning potential and her future at Red Robin.

Is there a hall of fame on this interwebz? I'd like to nominate this post.

Dis,
Those that know me, know that my crew comes first, and unless anyone is violating policy, SOP or common decency, its pretty low key. Step over the stated lines, it becomes a sliding scale of escalation depending on the other party. I don't yell, argue or roll over, vast difference between opinion and fact. If one believes in the FSM, that's cool, and we can discuss it evenly, above 250 below 10K and we will have a discussion, that leaves, no question as to where I stand. Want my opinion ask, want my assessment, step over the stated lines and it will be stated. I like to think I am reasonable, but that is for the observers to decide. Just remember, its not a popularity contest, my job is clearly defined by the company and the FARs, and that might not be popular, but that the way it is.

Lol, JI, you really need to calm it down. You're going to give yourself a heart attack.

Your advice, isn't needed nor sought after. But thanks for playing though...You are probably one of those bags of hammers that think that flying right to the edge of the SOP and FARs is gonna save SKYW from bankruptcy. Don't worry, Chimp or MT or whoever is next in the SKYW Executive bouncy house will just move the bar so you get a bonus worthy of Mickey-Ds finest Happy Meal.
You sound like hundreds if not thousands who have gone before you in the past, some have gone on to other airlines and more than a few have left the industry because it wasn't what they thought, after their 2nd or 3rd furlough.
You think you are a unique delicate snowflake? Guess what, you are just another number in a long line of numbers.

I don't normally post on here, but this is pretty funny. Sad thing is, it's kind of true. I try to explain this to FOs I fly with when they tell me about the FAs they've hooked up with. Doesn't seem to deter them though, so I figure, they'll just have to figure it out for themselves.
