Ärger im cockpit, gibs das mal öfters??

[Gast sabre]

Narrative :

FLYING AS FO, FLYING ACFT FROM R SEAT, ATP RATED, WITH CHIEF PLT. SOME SHINING EXAMPLES OF

THE CHIEF PLT'S PROFESSIONALISM AND AIRMANSHIP: 1) ARGUING IN THE COCKPIT, AT ALL PHASES OF

FLT OVER ANYTHING -- OFTEN NOT EVEN RELATED TO THE TASK AT HAND. 2) ON THE ACTIVE RWY,

AWAITING TKOF CLRNC, CLRED, I CALLED FOR 'FINAL ITEMS' AND SET PWR, SIMULTANEOUSLY NOTICING

HE DID NOT ANSWER TWR. I HIT FINAL ITEM SWITCHES, LOOKED OVER TO SEE WHY HE WAS 'OUT OF THE

LOOP' AND FOUND, TO MY DISMAY, HE WAS TALKING TO HIS SISTER ON HIS CELL PHONE! MANY SMALL

FLT DEPTS HAVE SIMILAR PROBS. PIC (CHIEF PLT) COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO ENTER THAT CLRNC IN

THE FMS. HE IS VERY EXPERIENCED IN THIS ACFT, BUT HAS LET HIS PROFESSIONALISM SLIDE TO THE

POINT WHERE HE NO LONGER BELIEVES IN CHARTS WITH OUR 'ELECTRONIC GEE WHIZ CAPABILITY.'

CHIEF PLT WAS GETTING VERY IMPATIENT, AND TALKING ABOUT CANCELING IFR AND GOING VFR. I TOLD

HIM, JUST ENTER DIRECT PVD AND WE CAN TAKE OFF AND WILL HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD

ENRTE TO PVD TO ENTER THE NEXT LEG AS IT WAS LATE. HE SAID OK AND SO WE DEPARTED. I CALLED

FOR GEAR UP AND HE BOLTS OUT OF HIS SEAT SAYING 'YOU GOT IT, I'M GOING TO TIDY UP THE CABIN'

AND LEAVES BEFORE I COULD STOP HIM. I IMMEDIATELY LOOKED FOR THE CHART ONLY TO FIND I HAD NO

IDEA WHERE HE PUT THE ONE I GAVE HIM! I SUMMONED HIM TO THE COCKPIT ON THE PA WITH THE

REMARK THAT IF HE DID NOT RETURN, I WAS GOING TO REQUEST A CLRNC TO LAND AT THE NEAREST

SUITABLE ARPT DUE TO PLT INCAPACITATION AS THIS WAS A 2 PLT ACFT. HE RETURNED TO BERATE ME

FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO HANDLE THE SIT. HE FOUND THE CHART, HE HAD DROPPED IT ON THE FAR SIDE

OF HIS SEAT. HE PICKED IT UP AND THREW IT AT ME AND LEFT AGAIN. THE PERMANENT FO AND I HAVE

DISCUSSED THIS CHIEF PLT AT LENGTH. SHORT OF QUITTING, OURSELVES, THIS CHIEF PLT IS SO

ENTRENCHED IN HIS JOB WITH OUR BOSS/OWNER THAT COMPLAINING ABOUT HIM TO ANYONE ELSE WILL

ONLY CAUSE OUR EARLY TERMINATION. I HAVE RECOMMENDED HEALTHY EXTENSIVE DOSES OF CRM,

BUT HE REFUSES. ACCORDING TO HIM, 'SERVES NO PURPOSE AS IT IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY AS

HE KNOWS HOW TO 'CTL' A CREW.' CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING

INFO: THIS IS NOT, AN AGING PLT, BUT ONE IN HIS MID FORTIES SO THAT HIS TRAINING OCCURRED SINCE

THE ADVENT OF CRM.

Synopsis :

CPR FO RPTS LACK OF CRM SKILLS AND UNPROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE ON THE PART OF HIS CHIEF PLT.

Ja und nun?

Woher stammt das, welche Airline, und was sollen wir jetzt dazu sagen?
