Thumbs up

Teresa,

What should the other crew member do if the "Captain you must Listen" has been rolled out and still nothing happens.
What would be the outcome if the crew had departed with an incident/accident occurring and the CVR recordings indicating complete breakdown in flight deck cooperation?
Good on Qantas for standing down the crew till this is resolved.
As usual there are three sides(at least) to every story.
The old school of perceiving the S/O as a mindless ****, is no longer entirely relevant as many have come from extremely rich(experience/skill levels) flying backgrounds.
As recent as 13 Oct 2008 in Lanzarote an overbearing Capt pressured the F/O till his S.A was so diminished he felt unable to speak up and an overrun ensued.
A good result so far, Safety is the primary driver.
