I have to write something...
having followed this tread I must say something..
what is being pedantic? In this tread there is really very little difference in opinion on how a pilot/captain should behave. But I think there is a huge difference in how we percieve the word pedantic and imagine such a person.
If pedantic means extremly professional and not willing to lower his/her standard, then I think we can all agree that it is something we will always (hopefully) find in a cockpit left and right side.
If being pedantic means an obsession with details and loosing the ability to see the "big picture" than it's something different. English is not my first languaga (as you might se) but I think the word itself means somethingelse than being professional.
Basicly I find it very hard to see how being pedantic (in the way I interpret/ use it) could be good.
Having said that I don't mean to put anyone down who descibes themself as pedantic....most likely we just interpret the word a little bit different
Now it's done....
