While I was there, I flew with a captain, he did that for two reasons. 1) Overblocking, 2) so he can have more PIC time. Yes, he was recent upgrade. But the sad part was, he taxied so slow, people missed their connections. On day 3 of our 4 day trip, my classmate was behind us, and it was his go home day. He messaged me that we are taxing to slow and he's going to miss his commute home. The captain, told me tell him " Shut the F up, it's more flight time!" However, on go home day for us, he taxied fast and first one to jump off the plane. On Another note, i asked him, if any FO ever complained about him taxing so slow. He said "No, but on his last tips, FO looked at his watch to make a point, he slowed down even more" He also said, that if someone ever tells him that, He will tell them, Shut the F up". I was like, wow, I can't believe what i am hearing. I hated that trip and the captain for his attitude. Unfortunately, I had 2 back to back trips with him. But then he went on my no fly list.

You know, this truly is a small industry, as others have stated. For instance, I know you failed out of Berkeley, and had to go to Cal State instead. I know you are a left winger, and the real issue you have with this captain is that he is right winged. You aren’t telling the truth, just a modified one to fit the narrative you want to present.
