I have a little routine I employ on the first sector. I share the above statistics with my FO, and I inform him that he is the most important safety feature of my aircraft. I then tell him, nay actively encourage him to speak up, to not be the slightest bit hesitant to point out my errors and oversights. Because I will make errors and oversights, because I am human.
I will guarantee you if I ever have a complete brain fart and attempt to get in from a ridiculously stupid high and hot approach, my FO will speak up!
How do you speak up to a captain who is fixated on getting in regardless?
Is this taught in sim ? There seem to be training folk round here.
It seems like a classic sim lesson.
Captain (15k hours on type) is landing because the FO doesn't have enough hours.
Captain's behaviour is generally exemplary. But today he's having a brain fart.
