All I can say is I'm glad I don't have to share your cockpit 411A...
Totally agree with Captain Stable; here in the UK we (on the whole) firmly believe in CRM as an effective tool for crew interaction.
CRM is there for the benefit of all concerned. If you're going to be so disparaging about CRM then why not just throw all SOPs out the window at the same time and fly the a/c to the deck all on your own???
As a relatively junior FO (who, for the record, regularly hand-flies the a/c) I find it quite worrying that this kind of attitude still prevails.
Getting back to the point, I'll always use common sense in judging if and when it is appropriate to
ask the skipper if they mind me hand-flying... What are we trying to prove here??
