CRM....and why?
i have long been considering this topic and would like some advice from others.
to me, it seems like quite a silly and pointless topic.it all seems like it is done in hindsight and is unable to solve the problems before they actually happen.
in my own experience, all the captains i have flown with have no idea what is actually going on. sometimes i wander if they are still alive half the time as we sit there in the long cruise.
i recall flying once with an african gentleman, who although he could fly he told me that he had no idea what we should actually be doing, as far as S.O.P's etc etc...he said he just wanted to get back to his 3 wives and do the business with them. i asked him what he thought about CRM and he said he thought i was a load of rubbish and that flying a plane was just like milking his cows, something that with practice comes right. i guess he was talking about the whole co-ordination thing, left tite, right tite...
anyway,if you have some views i would like to hear them...
