That reminds me of another incident or two. We’ll call the company Crazy Clown Airlines.
The parallels are absolutely amazing as their CP also hails from the shaky isles. The mongrel mobster is that good that HE doesn’t need to do any verbal pre-flight checks, just in his head.
The co-pilot asked for the checklist but he replied “done em” or so he thought until the turbine a/c had commenced its takeoff roll & the co-pilot noticed the torque gauges on zero. Oops somebody left the inverters off DOH!
Another time on finals to DN the PIC said to Capt Krusty “quarter flap thanks” to which Krusty replied “you’re not ready yet”.
Funny, I always thought that the term pilot in command meant just that!
