You have my blessing.

CRM has evolved into some talk show and has become a way to select pilots NOT on what they know “Database” but on the, are they “Nice” criteria like a kind of “Would I like to sit next to this guy for 8 Hrs”

For many years, models have been developed to select pilots and when Competent and Experienced recruiting staff uses it, they can get it right.

I prefer a young F/O with a solid educational background that challenges his Capt with questions over the one that is nice and that keeps quiet.

It keeps me up to speed, the flight is far from boring.

But the essence of the story is often: “How do you as a captain use your F/O as efficiently as possible” or in other words Crew Management. You can invite the F/O to get more involved yourself.

Certainly; when an approach gets difficult you want to use all resources and in my opinion in the case of this Gerona mishap “A MONITORED APPROACH”
