You the you go on to brag about your big sweaty, hairy, low hanging pair because "I flew turbine airplanes with no APU" BS!

This isn't about who's got the biggest balls and who is willing to take the greatest risks QUITE the opposite. It's about making sensible safe decisions even when some management weenie is pressuring you to go.

Now as far as the juvenile response to my comments on CRM which are very clearly written and right there in black and white and were predictably taken out of context, disregarding your crew wholesale is a CRM nightmare waiting to happen. let me copy it and put it in bold for thereading comprehension challenged people who somehow misread it. Here it is one more time for the slow people. "A captain who disregards his crew and takes an airplane with complete disregard for the concerns of his F/O is a complete CRM nightmare and an accident waiting to happen."

Having a disagreement with a crew member then coming to a logical safe conclusion obviously is not a CRM issue that is what CRM is all about. Leaving that F/O on the dock means to me that the F/O had some serious concerns that we are not hearing about here and the captain completely disregarded them. Until we have the whole unaltered story we won't know.
