See this link which depicts a stuffed up instrument approach conducted by the captain. Note the superfluous chatting by the captain ever so casual. Although the video is almost certainly taken in a simulator and presumably is for the purpose of teaching new first officers all about CRM, one could argue the F/O was too timid to really ensure the captain was getting the message that he was seriously off track.
Sure, the F/O dropped hints but this was hidden in the general casual atmosphere displayed on the flight deck. Maybe the point of the video was to show this?
Either way the F/O nearly left it too late to take action when the GPWS sounded "Terrain Pull Up" Perhaps he should have been more firm with the captain earlier in the approach when it was obvious things were getting serious.
Regardless of individual reader's opinion of the captains friendly chatting and the F/O's carefully chosen hints that the captain was off track, it is an excellent video which leaves you to read what you want to into it. It takes two minutes to download but is worth waiting for.
