I'm surprised that no one has picked up on the fact that Lambourne voluntarily chose to be an f/o rather than take a command on a narrow body jet? Lack of confidence perhaps? Lack of command potential? Hence the bitterness and vitriol?!
Without a doubt.
You are operating as an indpedent system with nothing but your own self preservation being the number one factor. You have not been accidentally overlooked by the rest fo the crew.
Sounds good to me (spelling excepted
), as I don't take much notice of the rest of the crew, anyway.
As long as they do as I say, when I say it, I could care less.
