I think CRM is a great communication tool that all crew should be aware of, and have attended the course. I did a refresher course the other day and it was good to be reminded of things that go wrong and that they could have been prevented had CRM been used.
My opinion is that newbies that have not had there first fright
and survived it, actually don't have the insight into when is this actually going to get ugly....
A new comm pilot (including myself when I got my comm) is useless and all you want to do is please your new employer
it is up to us the more experienced guys to somehow come up with a way of teaching newbies from our experiences and not too let them have that big fright that they cant learn from.
With regards to the above Pilot A, the PPL he should get his comm if he wants to fly pax around, he being the boss and only a ppl is the weekest link here,(GOODBYE)
these are the type of pilots who have no regard to aviation safety, he is a bussiness man and no-one can tell him what to do
As for Pilot B, Don't allow a PPL or Boss to be in controll when you doing a comercial flight. Fly alone because bosses like that only use you because they know you going to be easy prey
Great thread, hope you newbies out there can learn a little from this
