Remember when the flight engineer would have hollered obscenities at you if you touched the throttles when you shouldn't or didn't touch the throttles when you should have
Flight engineers hollering obscenities and today's principles of CRM are not exactly compatible in terms of flight safety principles. In my day I frequently had the misfortune to be crewed with some real dinosaurs among the ranks of that trade. I recall talking to one RAF F/E on the Handley Page Hastings. He was proud of the fact he could call an abort (whether it was technically justified or not) and by RAF rules the captain had to abort whether it was justified or not.
