And your attitude is both ignorant and presumptuous. Chief.
You mention infallible. Why?
Inclusion of the word 'knowingly' effectively precludes the presumption of infallibility on the part of the first officer. Maybe I should have used 'deliberately' instead.
It should be fairly obvious that I do not consider myself infallible as your kindly highlighted text shows.
You also presume that I would ignore the protestations of my first officer.
but (you) the captain ignore all of this.
So you think we should allow a
deliberately obstructive first officer to remain on the flight deck. A first officer who will
deliberately not correct you when you make a mistake.
I hope you can see the difference between a captain who ignores his first officer and a first officer who will
deliberately not correct a captain who makes a genuine mistake.
