Talking about Stroppy First Officers, what about Stroppy Second Officers?
I was an F/O on the B747-400 and had about 6,000 hours on that machine alone and I flew this very nice approach into LHR years ago and the Second Officer attempted to debrief me on the preceedings. I nearly fell out of the seat as did the Captain.
When I recovered I pointed out that if any debriefing was to be done it would be by the Captain and not by the S/O.
Great snapping sea serpents, my ATPL was at least five years older than this twerp.
Amazing that we still have pilots who think that their ego is more important than their profession.
I don't care where the input is coming from. If it is valid, it is important to me to listen.
