bubbers44, Phew! But easier when you're the boss.

Although, as a 'Mr Nice Guy' captain, (wife and a couple of other troublemakers would dispute) I've had a couple of punchy FOs who had to be spoken to

I still think it was better to be 'Mr Nice Guy' and have the (very odd) FO think he could try it on than discourage a genuine anxiety being expressed. Some may call me underconfidant but I quite liked an experienced FO upon whom I could rely to draw my attention to an error.

When I was chucking a Chippy, JP or Jungmann around the sky; no, I didn't want someone telling me I was being silly - despite the fact that they may, on occasion, have been correct
