Here's the deal. If you want to make trouble for the Herminator or any orifice like him, you are going to have to be prepared to go all the way. It will require a sexual harassment complaint. Nothing gross. But if he undresses you with his eyes, you have a legit complaint.

The poor Captains get to deal with "Fumes".
I had my one experience with the "Hermanator". What an a$$. I actually just put my seat all the way back and my feet up on the foot rests. Didn't say a word until a checklist was required.
Only later did I find out he was infamous. If I ever fly with that jerkoff again we will have a closed door brief where he shuts his pie-hole and listens to me. If he screws up even a teenie tiny bit were heading to pro-stans. I will not let this jerk treat a new-hire the way he "tried" to treat me.
He asked a question and I gave him the answer. He didn't believe me so he started a three-way call with dispatch and the duty pilot. Shortly after the call ended and ACARS message came through. The message stated, "your FO is right". No $hit sherlock!!!! Our FO's, myself included, have a couple decades experience before we show up here. That guy is a major tool!!!!! This was just the first thing he did. This tool didn't even know that you could have the localizer set off of the actual course and still fly it straight down the pipe. He was all worked up over a recent runway redesignation that was 2 degrees different than the ILS course. I turned mine 30 degrees off and showed him my centered needle. Duh!!
The icing on the cake was when we landed in fog and he missed not one but TWO taxiways. I told him both times but he shushed me, pointing his finger in my face. F U you jerk. I finally told him he could get lost on his own, in the fog, in MKE.
Later I flew with a 4th floor bubba. I told him, without names, about my experience. He stated, "you must've flown with the Hermanator". Yup. We have an extensive file on him.
Why the H E double hockey sticks do we not fire people like this. New-hire's do not deserve to deal with this turkey.

I pity the DTW guys that have to fly with the ALPA safety toolbag I flew with (and already vented about) a few weeks back. We've got a couple crazies in ATL, but none are bad enough for me to avoid bid. If that guy was ATL based, he would have won the award for the first person ever to make my avoid bid list!
On a side note, a captain a few weeks ago told me you could stand in the doorway on the 320/319 and fart and it would just get sucked right out. I decided to give it a test run this trip. Thinking about the airflow and when someone goes in the lav, I should have known better. I did courtesy call the shot, but the entire cockpit immediately turned green upon explusion. Never again! I think I got punked with that advice. It gave us a good laugh... and the captain sure got his well deserved revenge later.

Pm me your email and I'll send some pics. Super easy. I bought my stuff from the local growler store. He had extra commercial taps and a quality regulator. The CO2 bottle gets replaced/refilled after a few kegs by him for $20. One tap handle I bought off eBay (Dogfish) and the other I made from my sons hockey stick. Homey's Depot had the 3/8 adaptor for a dollar to attach the stick to my tap. Now I'm looking for a thrust lever to make another tap handle.

There's one guy in LA. That being said, I think CAs should have the "no fly" option as well. There are some dooshy FOs out here as well. One of the by products of stagnation. Lots of senior west coast FOs have way more experience in type than the CAs. Some pretend to be the CA. I hope I'm never one of those guys.
