LA Times: What happens when your pilots just don't get along?
What happens when your pilots just don't get along?
When the boss is an insufferable troll, his personality can create a toxic environment that sets the workplace on edge. If the boss happens to be the captain on a commercial aircraft and his abrasive temperament creates undue stress for his co-pilot, the result could threaten the integrity of a flight.
For this reason, co-pilots, or first officers, have a way to quietly avoid flying with a captain they despise.
At the airline I work for, this subversive maneuver is known as
“Do Not Pair.”

Yeah, I spent an entire flight having to listen to them go back and forth about the Cavs over ICS.
On a more serious note, I have heard some disagreements about flying the aircraft on ICS... Usually the right seat yields to the PIC after voicing their concern.
