No need for apology, but gratefully accepted. Thank You.
We all have differing thoughts and methods of putting them across.
Personally, having flown charter, long haul scheduled, low cost european and VIP private ops I can honestly say that all have been different - with different pressures from managers and even owners.
I completely agree that all good captains would allow FO's to thrive and develop. This is, of course, limited by a number of factors - not least FO ability, captain ability and the confidence displayed by both of them.
I have never really understood the OFDM problem. Surely, by acting professionally and aiming to stay a step ahead of the game ensures that OFDM doesn't become an issue.
I always try and stay a little bit "grandpa" in my approaches. I don't have too many grey hairs yet either
