Could forsee a few CRM problems here.
He can't get the navaids to work properly and he threw the instructions away.
She wants him to stop for directions and he won't.
She waits till they are in the cruise and announces she thinks she left her handbag at home and can they go back now, please? On second thoughts, no it's OK, she did bring it after all - there it is right next to her on the floor. She spends the next ten minutes peering into it and digging around, shuffling the contents like a demented hamster whilst sighing loudly. Looking at her diary, she asks him if he thinks she might have left the iron switched on? He gently shakes his head....
She's done him tomato sandwiches for lunch again and that gets him annoyed. She knows he hates them 'cos they go soggy. Not only that but there's not enough sugar in the Thermos flask and he really can't stand the thought of last week's silly little angel cakes (burnt round the edges) that need eating up.
After lunch he breaks wind in the cockpit as if it's a competitive sport, wafts the PLOG board around his seat and says "Oooh that's a cracker - better out than in!" She looks at him in sheer disgust...
Nearing the destination, he asks for a briefing on the approach plate. When she reads it - interspersed with reports about Aunt Maude's arthritis and did he know her car's got a slow puncture, he finds himself falling back into his usual habits. He simply says: "Yes dear, of course dear..." whilst absent-mindedly looking out of the cockpit window and only hearing "Blah, blah, blah..." He doesn't listen to a word of it, never mind, he's done this approach dozens of times before.....
During the approach, with cloud almost on the deck, he asks for final confirmation of descent minima. She says "I've told you once - you NEVER listen to anything I say - do you? It was the same last week when I told you I was going to the hairdresser's all day and could you feed the cat....and you forgot to do it, didn't you? AND you never watered my aspidistra yesterday did you - it's looked half dead this morning"
Finally, on the ground, he makes her park at the gate. She annoys him by getting it right first time and he annoys her by calling it a fluke and challenges her to reverse out and do it again.
After a long hard day, she asks if they can call in at her mother's on the way to the hotel. Via Tesco's.......
