Popay,
When it comes to safety you need to speak up and not be pushed around son. I have to agree that it is not easy being a first officer and put up with all the different ways that captains conduct their cockpits and do their little ways of flying but you need to always think safety first.
Being a first officer is one of the hardest jobs I have ever done and I have to tell you that I don't always have the correct or political way of telling the other pilot right from wrong but try to work on your delivery to your captain and be diplomatic at first and then try another angle but the end result is SAFETY and if he or she does not realize that you are trying to say or do something in the interest of safety then he or she aint that good.
Good luck and no hard feelings.
HM
