I flew with a scab once that liked to change the ZFW in the 737 to go higher. What an idiot. He did lots of dangerous things. I reported him to the chief and said I would never fly with him again. He is still flying. He is always in open time. The poor reserves get stuck with him. He is always on the list for senior manning too. No life. Hopefully he can retire without killing anyone.

Ahh yes...the ones with the mega egos who always know better than everyone else including the Boeing engineers. Good riddance when gone.

We had a scab B767 (c)APTAIN in the early '90s lower the gas on a FRA-ORD flight. long story short, after a complete wind bust(165+mph headwinds), the scab was forced by both copilots to make an emergency fuel stop into DTW with the bunkie holding the crash axe over the his head.
Later on different day the same scab, this time flying with a very rusty not line oriented instructor pilot, landed at the wrong airport in San Juan. That incident got him early retirement. Story has it that the scab wanted to take off again and the copilot threaten physical harm to stop him. In order to get the B757 legal for take off, all pax and cargo and some fuel had to be Removed for a very short ferry out of Isla Grande airport.

Never mind the fact that he ended up stalling a B757, lost 3-4K ft, and drifted so far off course that he managed to infringe on the neighboring Track.
The brimming pride of Germany.....Where do we find such shining aviators?

Some of the worst pilots I have flown with have been scabs! They upgraded quick and the majority are afraid of management.
Here is the trend of scabs i have seen:
My seniority is great
Everything is about my comfort
I am lazy
Look how much money I make.
I don't do four days and i don't do red eyes! (How dare they ask me to do that with my seniority!)
This is what I am going to do so lets be on time because it's all about what I am going to do!
Where did the scab captain go? oh there is the scab captain in the hotel van ahead of everyone.
Yes there are exceptions, but the majority I have noticed have these characteristics.

The Captain that you mention above.....Was that the same shining star who opted to change the ZFW over the NATs one evening to "trick-d1ck" the box in "manufacturing" his own "artificially induced" recommended climb??

IF stalling once per month in your fleet is true, then I agree there is a big pilot problem. So a few idiots are responsible for this alarming rate of of occurrence, it should be easy to identify the idiots and fired them before we top Air France performance. I say fire them, because you can not retrain an idiot!
I don't know what the numbers are. One per month seems high. Really, how do you stall a jet in normal ops? I don't care what model you fly.
