As for intimidation, or creating resentment, have most of you all ever read about the Western Airlines (later bought by Delta Airlines) DC-10 crash in Mexico City? There was apparently equipment on a runway and the FO or the FE might have been aware of the danger.
I don't know if the other crewmembers forgot which runway had the hazards, or if they just let the Captain continue the approach and landing, hoping that he would see it and go around. Haven't read about it in a long time.
Anyway, certain sources claim that when the FO, either on the doomed flight or a previous one, pointed out a danger to the Captain, the Captain said something like "If I need anything from you, I'll rattle your cage".
Does anyone know the details?
