Thanks Onion I am honestly learning from input like yours, keep it coming.
Ignore the other pilot at your peril indeed, but just don't blindly follow an inexperienced 'command' is what I was getting at.
Interesting that you had that experience after returning from flying all over the world. I guess we are known for doing things bloody differently. Did the years / months back here when you came home not reacclimatise you before you got the command ?
