Ollie I do agree with what you’re saying. The way I approach it is if it’s safe, and within the realms of the rules and SOP’s, then I don’t care how the other bloke/blokette flies their leg. I won’t try to ‘oneup’ anyone. But as soon as they start pushing those boundaries and disregarding pretty basic rules or boundaries, then I’ll happily speak up and won’t hesitate to make sure it’s corrected. Just like I expect them to if it’s me flying.
Like I said earlier, at the end of the day, I just want to go home to my family and not have to answer any phone calls from the chief pilot.
