Hello all,

I would say, it's not just a RIGHT, it's your DUTY !

These planes are designed to be flown by 2 pilots. If one of them becomes "incapacitated", it's an EMERGENCY situation (at least in my company).
And a captain that does not respond to 2 prompts from his copilot in any way (oraly with an explanation and/or manually with a correction) is considered "subtly incapacitated".

It's also the captain's job to maintain a minimum level of good CRM in the cockpit...so if he doesn't, don't fell bad, just do your job !!

happy landings
