Everybody talking in circles and innuendo's. the fact is if its your ship, you run it as so. If a crew member has a problem and brings it up with you, you discuss it with both he/she and the F/O, in a mature fashion and be open to all suggestions. A sensible conclusion is realised, and a flight deck operates as it should. You might not all totally agree, but realise the final word is the Captains. That is the mature, and capable way of running a flight deck, nothing else is acceptable. You might consider the capt is a complete ********, but he/she is still the Captain, you are not. If you consider the action of the Captain could lead to the destruction of the aircraft and the demise of both crew and passengers, then you must utter those words. you know what they are, if not put your problem into the ring and discuss it. The flight deck is for grown ups only, it requires discipline, maturity, and experience to run it properly, not biff, temper and downright hostility, that is a very dangerous environment and the PAX do not pay for that. We have all been on flight decks where there is a feeling of discord, especially after 89, but mature grown ups put their personal feelings aside and go about their business of operating a passenger aircraft and those who cannot have no business in the office, its as simple as that.
