Better to not fly than to fly with someone you aren't comfortable with.

Sorry about your liver transplant, Timmy, but until Chuck reimburses me for the golf we played on Sunday this plane isn't going to take off

“We should keep the seatbelt sign on in gentle air for 50 minutes after liftoff!”

“No! We should sit on the tarmac for 90 minutes without saying a word!”

… if only they realized, with Spirit Airlines, they could both be right. 🚫🚽🛩️

Better that than, "Junior pilot refuses to take control as senior pilot ignores protocol and shorts the runway. Cultural hierarchy to blame."

Maybe one took a round trip flight to pound town with the other’s wife.

This actually brings me a measure of comfort. I don't want the two guys flying my plane bickering.

Replying to PM_ur_Rump (#397,016)

This!!! The pilot and co-pilot have to work together and catch each other if they make a mistake. A hostile environment could lead to situations where they don't listen to each other and larger issues happen. This is a big cause of plane crashes. Not saying they would likely crash. But it's an added risk for no good reason.

Legend has it that it was two lefties who both wanted to sit in the same seat.

Tldr; One of them didn’t want to kiss the homies goodnight. His loss. Weirdo.

Two hours of rock, paper, scissors ties over who gets to taxi to the run way today.

It's not quite on-topic, but I'm reminded of a headline I saw earlier today that Kyle Rittenhouse wants to be a pilot for UPS or FedEx. I had a very similar thought when I read it - NO farking WAY I would pilot/co-pilot with that waste of oxygen.

I am not a fan of Alaska airlines. They canceled my flight because of crew scheduling issues. Seems like they could have figured that out sooner.

Good call to cancel. High emotions and interpersonal conflict are a safety issue.

This is good, bad communication can lead to fatal errors. Having the crew be professional enough to realize they do not get along and would not be a good pair to fly is very responsible. I respect the crew for choosing not to fly.
