Had a mate who was on antidepressants and had a skin disorder..left and became a fleet chief..skin cleared up after appointed mates into training and checking, wrote his own roster and flew to unchallenging destinations with experienced FOs. With pilots like that in charge what can one expect.
Had a row with one racist checker on a normal line flight which stopped only when the dispatcher put the load sheet between us..called him an effing hypocrite - union got rid of him after he had failed a fellow countryman on his final command check and was asked what he would have done? Same but I'm not under check.
A few good checkers but far more useless ones with ego problems and ability deficiencies.
Just reminded of a checker who hit me with his briefcase after he had a hissing fit over paperwork and i had said I'll do whatever you want Brian as I'm a copilot and I'm paid to do that. he said "Ace when you get your command you will want it done your way" so i asked him if the command course included one on sarcasm. He had bo1locked the other FO on crosswind landing technique but was wrong in what SOP was at the time.
