Line check. Who is in command?
As the Capt under test I sign the book...legally I am in command.
Just had a most unfortunate situation with a line trainer (with a reputation for treating Captains like dirt / verbal abuse / anger management problems).
He seems to think that CRM does not apply to him.
It got to the stage where his interference in my operation / desire to show that actually he was the boss meant I had to take him to one side during the turn around.
My concern with trainers who operate this long discredited mode of "training" is that if there was actually a problem these people would try to run the show.
There are great examples of experienced pilots sitting on the jump seat during emergencies and being used as a valuable resource. All for this but there can only be one person in command.
Just want the position clarifying / other thoughts before taking my next step.
