After moving to work in the sandpit and the Orient, I've come to learn many things. One is about Pprune, the others are crew lounge hot air and bar room lunacy!

Well bean curd, perhaps you should rewrite the flying manuals about how to fly. To keep your job........ instead of commanding an aircraft. I'm sure, there will always be some who fly around with one hand covering their arse, and the other on the yoke.
Yes, sometimes the end does justify the means, as in this case, I agree the eventual outcome did.
However, strong, articulate reasoning, at most times, will come through as opposed to fearful capitulation of ones authority when facing a bully.
Commanding an aircraft requires a huge amount of self belief and confidence. And it doesn't matter with which company.
I wonder how this capt would come through in a thunderstorm one night, at a mountainous airfield, with one engine out, a non-precision approach, and a F/O named Pedro. Perhaps Cho would be there to tell him to return to the gate.
Wow, what a sucker punch! Really good for the pubs and bar rooms
Well in Japan we have heard a lot of gaijin pilots making such bombastic " self belief " hot air in crew lounges and bar rooms...but in most cases when shtf, they are just as meek or even more pathetically " cojoneless " as the locals. This is a fact and I have seen it all!
My verdict on this :
Taufu lives in the real world and one who I will not hesitate to fly with.
rdr and his/her ilk belongs to the pubs and crew lounges spinning endless tales of bravado and hogwash. The show of the party, but people whom I have learnt to steer clear off like the politicos that walk our corridors of infamy.
