Just because you are the pilot flying doesn't mean you're the pilot captain.
I found the tool of the day..........
I love the hey man here comes stabilized approach criteria altitude,
I will put hand near gear, and you slap it, I will slap you.
If you want to play the I am captain game, then you better know your flight manual, sop, and aircraft manual from front to back, because we both get roasted when you F up, not just you. I am all for the I am captain game if you will fly by the book, and only by the book for the trip. But I am captain while not playing by the rules is putting us both at risk and that makes you a huge tool.
