I think that all depends on the person, I used to work for an old man who was a scremer and shouter, he was always right even when the EGPWS was screaming TERRAIN & PULL UP in IFR going into Samadam! and when you tried to discuss the issue with him it was, I have 30 years in the industry I know what I'm doning... Two years later I had detailed 4 pages of A4 on CRM and down right unprofessional flying off the old man, and when I again tried to talk to him about issues he would resort to threats of the sack and more...
So I think CRM is a must and everybody should attend a course, but the bottom dollar is that it takes two to tango and if the other one is not playing ball then what can you do... its all about respecting the other person and team work... Most of the accidents you see and hear about include a break down of CRM in the cockpit... Thats why it is deemed so important today.
