That one was less funny, still unhelpful and a little scary.
There is no such thing as a 'team concept' the way you describe it. It's not an option. If there's more than one person in the cockpit, the reality is, you already have a 'team'. The only option you have is whether it's functional or dysfunctional. CRM, I thought, was about making functional teams the product of skill rather than luck and arrogance.
Not really sure how the 'friendly fire' analogy really relates to team dynamics, but after Tenerife, Dryden, Portland, Cove Neck and any number of other really relevant examples, do we really need to be re-explaining the rational basis of CRM to pilots on a Safety and CRM thread?
Back to my original question...
