Probably not true. Alaskas’ FOM designates the captain to be in charge of the crew from the time the captain shows up to work until the time the captain leaves on the last day. I think it might be gray if she was an FA and they came in on different flights or leave on different flights, but I think it is pretty clear that a CA and an FO on the same pairing the CA would be considered the supervisor in this situation at Alaska.
