Think about what you are saying guys!

Let's face the facts:
1. The Captain is always in Command

2. Several incidents/accidents and (I think everybody can confirm) also personal experience show, that the CPT is not always right

3. Following the argumentation of some guys here I get the impression that a FO should follow a CPT's oder even if he knows that this is wrong.
(In the worst case this is a key-step to an incident/accident)

A good Crew-Coordination makes it possible to the FO to discuss critical matters without getting penalized by the CPT.

That is how it SHOULD be.
Obvously this seems to be not the case and in this case the CPT overran the "Right to Command" by penalizing in an improper way.

Guys, you are responsible for hundreds of Pax, the cockpit is a workplace for highly disciplinated and qualified professional pilots and not for the baby-brothers of Mike Tyson!


Pls keep that in Mind before you kick your FO from behind!
