Narrative:

Flying a four day trip with a captain who is infamous in our airline for dodging 'angels' in flight, busting altitudes and running off the end of runways. He is more than a little bit difficult to get along with, talking one moment about jesus and the next about the difficulty of being a non caucasian pilot. We were given a clearance to cross mizar at 12000'. I was tracking outbnd on V11 from fwa. At the change over point I could not understand why his radio was not showing the inbound right as being alive. (66 degree into 115.7). He had told me his side was set up for the inbound. My mistake was in believing him. (Maybe I had been softened up by all the angels we had been dodging). He was actually tuned to 114.3. By the time I pulled my map out to find the error ATC (cleveland) was yelling at us. We made 29 DME at 12000', but I won't claim we were near mizar intersection. I don't think I can take another week of this guy. I'm calling in sick for my next trip with him. If I can get through the last day of this trip.

Narrative: FLYING A FOUR DAY TRIP WITH A CAPT WHO IS INFAMOUS IN OUR AIRLINE FOR DODGING 'ANGELS' IN FLT, BUSTING ALTS AND RUNNING OFF THE END OF RWYS. HE IS MORE THAN A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT TO GET ALONG WITH, TALKING ONE MOMENT ABOUT JESUS AND THE NEXT ABOUT THE DIFFICULTY OF BEING A NON CAUCASIAN PLT. WE WERE GIVEN A CLRNC TO CROSS MIZAR AT 12000'. I WAS TRACKING OUTBND ON V11 FROM FWA. AT THE CHANGE OVER POINT I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY HIS RADIO WAS NOT SHOWING THE INBND R AS BEING ALIVE. (66 DEG INTO 115.7). HE HAD TOLD ME HIS SIDE WAS SET UP FOR THE INBND. MY MISTAKE WAS IN BELIEVING HIM. (MAYBE I HAD BEEN SOFTENED UP BY ALL THE ANGELS WE HAD BEEN DODGING). HE WAS ACTUALLY TUNED TO 114.3. BY THE TIME I PULLED MY MAP OUT TO FIND THE ERROR ATC (CLEVELAND) WAS YELLING AT US. WE MADE 29 DME AT 12000', BUT I WON'T CLAIM WE WERE NEAR MIZAR INTXN. I DON'T THINK I CAN TAKE ANOTHER WK OF THIS GUY. I'M CALLING IN SICK FOR MY NEXT TRIP WITH HIM. IF I CAN GET THROUGH THE LAST DAY OF THIS TRIP.
