Command decisions

Pilat, no one is claiming all Captain's are infallible. What this thread is about is whom is in command. From some of the posts here it seems that some F/O's are of the opinion that when they are the handling pilot on a sector that they are in command. If they cannot accept that the Captain is in command and has the responsibility for what happens on the flight then maybe that F/O should try driving a taxi or some other craft. Nobody I know would ever be critical of another crew member speaking up if they were unhappy about an aspect of the flight. It all comes down to a matter of respecting authority of those with the ultimate responsibility.
