Gee. These posts so far suggest that I was not alone when I felt the sting the tongue of old mate PW. As I recall it, on my check flight he was prone to reach over and physically slap my hands off things that he thought I had no right to ever be touching. Pity is, they were things like trim wheels and radio volumes and I was the one driving the thing so I figure that tweaking a trim setting wasn't beyond expectation. I knew then that this bloke probably had massive blood pressure and stress management problems. He was also seemed to yell across the cockpit a bit too much for my likes..... abusive demeaning comments really. After the flight as we taxiied back in he was still ranting about god knows what and had his seat belt off, headset ripped out of the dash and the door open and was almost getting out a hundred yards before I even parked the thing.
Half an hour later he was guzzling down his third
VB and slapping me on the back like we were old trench mates from the war.
It was too late for me. I had the car burning gravel out the front and I was gone off to better things. Weirdo. Still laugh about him trying to get out the door against the prop wash however. Nearly lost him under the wheel. What a dick.
All the best to the guys at AA with your new boss.
Gin.
