I think the issue is, that freezingflyboy's original post reeked of arrogance. I've flown with arrogant pilots and it is a character trait that leaves the entire crew open to a whole mess of trouble.
I am by no means perfect, but whenever a fellow pilot asks me if I'm "sure" about something, my immediate response is.."absolutely not...I'll look it up."
I may be 100% positive in my brain, but if another professional pilot calls me on it, what makes me right and him wrong?
I hope that this was a learning moment for the OP.
Without getting into it further (lest I get even MORE crucified!
), there is more to the story re this particular FO. As is often the case, that WAS my initial reaction. We had a longish turn so I went to look up it without much luck, as I was looking in the wrong place.
Attention ALL TOTD readers: I was wrong! Apology owed. I get it.
