did not suffer fools gladly
often equals 'opinionated and cannot stand those who disagree'
As a passenger I want to be flown by a SOP crew with the FO 'in the loop' and in a position to mention deviations from standard procedure.
As a first officer I flew with several "I'll show you how I do it" captains.
They were a pain in the butt and placed their flight deck crew in a position where monitoring was well nigh impossible.
I recollect a flight engineer remarking, after a flight with a Middle Eastern operator "Aahh so that was it; I hadn't a clue what you two were up to!" (Abdul had decided to simulate captain incapacity - not that it made much difference either way)
One final point: Horses and courses, ladies and gentlemen, so if you are not an airline pilot you are not qualified to comment on adherance or otherwise to airline SOPs so lets have less of the Top Gun rubbish.
