The worst are chief pilot's who fly an airplane in a flight department and think that just because they're owners/crews are happy on their airplane the whole department is running smooth...
Chief Pilot's hired solely by the grey-ness of their hair aren't always the best bet.
I wonder who you could be talking about?
However unpopular my feelings may be I have noticed over the past few years an increasing trend of complaints about Captains. I tend to attribute most of this to the corresponding increasing trend of very young F.O.'s that are sitting in equipment today that 15 years ago they wouldn't have a prayer of operating at the experience level they are today... Add to this the fact that within today's generation it is very rare to find an early twenty-something that can take constructive criticism and has attention to detail.
I never worked for him (thank god!) but this total wiseass went off ballistic in our FBO about 6 months ago. It was amazing. Long story short was that I let him into the gate out our local airport with my remote. APC is a non airline airport. There are NO security measures in place. They drove through the gate stopped and I opened the gate again with my remote. I waved at them and called it a day. The next thing you know this moron is swearing at me and yelling in the FBO because I tailgated him. Needless to say what ensued is hopefully the dumbest thing I will ever have to deal with in aviation. This guy was a complete prick hopped up on a false sense of authority.
The best part was that he claimed to be the assistant chief pilot of Schubach aviation!!! LOL!!!!
If any of you guys want his name do PM me. I'd hate for any of you to have to work with him or for him. I'm guessing he is likely looking for work based on how things went with me.
How about the captains that get the rental car and say, "you're driving". Or, "be in the lobby at 7:30 to go to dinner because I'm leaving on the minute". Fugg you, you're only the captain when we're flying buddy, you ain't sh1t when we're on the ground.
