Bullying instructors...
...early in my flying training (sortie2) I had a MAeOP (probably the one that Adam Nams mentioned) as my man. He sat down beside me, took the fire axe off the wall and plonked it on the desk between us.
Me Brand new P/O stripe barely visible"What's that for?" I had the sense to say it on i/c.
Him "When you fook oop I clatter you on the bonedome wi' the flat bit"
Me "I do NOT respond well to threats of physical violence and if you have a problem with that we can go and talk to the CI" (I was actually quaking in my flying boots)
Him Very hard stare, but put it back on the wall.
Later in the trip, when it was my turn in the R/H seat to do the airways comms, as I settled in to the seat the aged Master Pilot looked across and mouthed "Well done son." and let me take the pole as well.
