...as - ahem -
interesting?
Own navigation to a waypoint - ATC liberally clears us to descent 2000 ft. below MSA. F/O happily acknowledeges - and then starts arguing that "...well, we're radar monitored...". When that was refuted, he tried "We're under radar vectors" - but had to acknowledge that no heading had been assigned. And just to compound matters - when I requested that he infom ATC we were stopping descent at 5000 ft & requesting radar vectors, he thought that this was the right time for a jibe at the old man in the LHS: "We're
cleared to descend altitude 3000 ft..." instead of just requesting the vectors.
Please don't tell me that this is the new generation of future captains we're seing here??? Thank god there are 10 good'uns for every bad'un
, so the BC will still have some choice as to who's put forward for upgrade
