I tend to agree with HMP even though I sense some degree of sarcasim.
I understand the intent of the artical, and it opens a great topic for discussion.
However, who is Hassling who about not having enough fuel? Certainly not the rest of the cockpit crew. I know from personal experience that tension in (within)the cockpit is not going to be about how much fuel is needed to complete the intended trip with the appropriate safety margins.
In some Corporate Operations the two pilot flight Dept. can be the most challenging cockpit environment. Why?, well it is almost like being married. Don't laugh. Imagine every trip, some times many days on the road spent with the very same person 99.5 % of the time. And then imagine that, that person is also your Boss, the "Cheif Pilot". This is the breeding ground for tension in the cockpit. Now imagine broching subjects like pay raises, job performance, etc. There is no place to retreat or step back and cool off when conflicts arise. You just have to get in the cockpit and get the job done.
I could right a book on my many years of experience on this subject. And yes I am usually the "quiet professional" because that is the attitude I must have in order to survive the environment.
My hats off to those who are the "quiet professionals", you make the difference when the heat is on.
