Do you ever get the feeling that it's the guys who most need to know about CRM who are the most resistant to it, and vice versa?

It's very difficult to "learn" to be a team player, and even more so if you think CRM is a big waste of time. You always get some pilots talking about CRM being "touchy feely tree-hugging nonsense" when in many cases it could and does save lives.

Still this attitude can be pretty funny sometimes:- my favourite anecdote was a Virgin Atlantic TC in the sim with the head of CRM supervising. His first remark to the copilot was "CRM - this is the Cockpit, your the Resource, and I'm the Management". Later in the detail they get an eng failure - he turns to the flight eng and says "[Name], I love you and want to have your babies. That's enough CRM, now put the f***ing fire out!"
