TopTup,
sounds a bit like some Turkish Capt's I have seen in action, and if we go back 10yrs some Italian too.
Regretably the "old guard" still exists in many countries, particularly those where a large percentage of Commanders are ex-military/ legacy carrier bred.
There is a vast chasm between being in command, and inflicting this status on all around you regardless of the consequences.
Some nations/cultures , historically, have more difficulty to find the middle ground than others, and that won't change any time soon.
The other side of the coin is that it is quite degrading to have someone try to force their viewpoint just because they happen to have the same nationality as the carrier you are flying for, but for sure they won't find any evidence of that in their cosy insular investigation.
Just because the one on the right was squaking doesn't mean he was right, some F/O's I have flown with who were expecting a command sometime soon could be a right pain in the jacksy, this could also have been the case here.
