Hi Anthill,
I seem "fail to understand the basis fundumentals of leadership. followership and effective CRM."
Gee thanks for pointing that out i had no idea.
Come on you must be reading a different post.I was not infering that any sort of cockpit gradient was preferable only that having to thank the Captain for letting you do the job for which you were employed is a bit rich.
By the way i was not referring to the captains right's to operate the aircraft as see's fit, merely commenting on the rather outdated philosophy that the Captain is God and every one else who gets to fly along side him or her should feel priviliged to even touch the controls, God forbid.
By the way to say the FO has no rights is rather left wing , everybody deserves to be treated with respect , yes even a FO.
