.....After about six legs of this BS, I (mostly) politely pointed out that I flew my last two trips with check airmen who had zero complaints about how I do my job, which was greeted with "well, the check airmen teach cultural procedures, not what's in the manuals".
Sorry to hear your pain Cactusflyer.
At the end of the day, your airline of today is the same airline, different paint job. Now a days, there's seems to be a "Chapter, Section, Page" brown nosing possum breath who can't pull up the Chapter Section Page of the Manual they are citing. Sort of the world according to Garp.
Hope the putz enjoys
