This guy takes the cake. Total arrogant douche who doesn’t learn and continues to try and throw his fellow pilots under the bus anyway he can.

Heard he trolls the bars to check if pilots are drinking inside 8 hours (it's not okay to drink inside 8 hours, but we don't need his help.) Also heard he has been trying forever to become an instructor, and was denied, so they do know about him.

It’s got the point where his base CP says “That’s not how we do things here” and hangs up on him when he calls about an issue with his FO. He can’t seem to figure out that he’s the problem and not the FO.

Hallelujah my Utopian thoughts of this place were about to be burst until this post. Can’t the union have a nice chat with him?

His *** is on the short list. After he took the controls from his FO and dragged a fully loaded 321 into DTW to take the first exit in DTW the chiefs took notice.

Idiots like him tend to be self-correcting.

Returning one morning recently from a jungle turn we were behind this guy on the arrival into FLL. ATC gives him a heading an altitude and is told to maintain speed 210.
He tells ATC in a very condescending tone “Unable. You guys do this to me every time.” He then goes on and on berating the controller for vectoring him below the Bravo at 210kts.
My FO pulls up the class B chart and finds that he may have been technically correct about his position in relation to the Bravo but his tone on the radio was self righteous and condescending.
So my FO and I then park at our gate, walk to the hotel pickup spot and there he is. I say “damn you really gave it to that controller.” He then goes into this diatribe about how he’s out here having to protect his certificate on a daily basis and no one meets his expectations of professionalism.

I believe it was a DMI INOP placard that was supposed to be either on the nose gear or the External Power Panel.
