Blue Eagle,

That is an excellant idea. In our company however, we have a
certain individual who was a turboprop captain, he was promoted on to our jet fleet and failed the conversion course.
He is now an F/O and has been for a number of years .
This guy is difficult to fly with to say the least. If you are unfortunate to be rostered together over a 3 or 4 day period then its an absolute nightmare, progressively getting worse as the days go by.

Your technique has been tried on this "character" by various training captains but unfortunately to no avail. His self regard is that,he is better than he really is .

He is an expert in niff naff and trivia, all the peripheral stuff tending to lose the plot, taking his eye of off the ball so to speak.

I suppose persistance on our part with encouragement at the appropriate time must be order of the day.

Any more advice on this one would be truly appreciated
