I'm learning a lot from watching my captains...both what to do and what not to do. Plus it's always nice, when the FA calls with a problem, to look at the captain and tell them that's why they makes the big bucks!
Completely agree. I've had to learn CRM on the job. Delta's minimal training program really doesn't address how to do GOOD CRM, just how not to do bad CRM. Put another way, I don't want to just be a Capt, I want to be a GOOD Capt! That's going to take some more time.
