My career was set back 15+ years by 9/11, a fact I try to just not worry about because a lot of people lost a lot more than I did. So I just leave it at that. But it did cost a lot of people a lot in their careers. I just started at SWA last year at age 50. Happy as can be to be here but I'm quite certain another major carrier or other things were in play when that awful day happened and the airline I was at underwent a total upheaval and all movement came screeching to a halt. It took until 2016 to get an interview with a major carrier again. Water under the bridge. In all seriousness, I'm not bitter about things I can't control. Others lost much, much more.
As to the negative referral thing, I think it can happen, but rarely does. The Post #11 example is very specific and appears to apply to one person. It's an unfortunate example. I can't think of anyone to whom I would give a negative referral, even people I really disliked flying with because maybe the bad person on that case was me, not the other one. Sometimes we all have off trips or just don't like someone but we need to get through those situations as adults and professionals. I can't imagine torpedoing someone's career though I can imagine not writing an LOR for a handful of folks. Mostly those folks would never ask me for one anyway.

Btw. Never said my “career” was a failure—his mousse must be too tight.

But really, what more can you expect from someone who has a vengeance based, hormone imbalance driven thought process?
Or a snowflake—-

Can we please stop saying the word snowflake? Makes it sound like the entire thread can’t come up with its own adjectives and instead had to steal one from Fox News and drive it into the ground.
