You seem offended someone questioned you. Not a great trait for a Capt tbh.
The truth is we have some very senior, very savvy FO’s who work way harder than many captains at increasing the bottom line. We also have some very young new captains who haven’t quite yet come into their own and could be influenced by a senior FO.
You’re 100% wrong saying the Capt is in charge when it comes to deciding to extend or not. FO has sole authority over him/herself on that one.
Ok man let’s play this game
Please quote where I “pretend FOs won’t push”
Also please quote where I say the captain is the only person in charge of extending Within the context of not giving the option to the other pilot
You are looking to fight when I’m merely talking to other captains about a safety concern.
Fwiw I agree with you on both those points, they are not what is being discussed. If you want to argue with yourself have at it.
Thanks for playing.
