One time is a mistake, second time is enemy action.
Do your job and fly standard.
As Second-in-COMMMAND, it IS your job to talk to him (assuming it’s a man) and you should do it diplomatically, that IS your job. But keep in mind, Probably thousands or tens of thousands of hours of safe operation and you draw the line in the sand and go scorched earth over a briefing.
If you need to say something to someone, you don’t need to be a jerk, just say you’d like to be briefed. I guarantee you they’ll do it. We have great guys at JB, the loudest guys on the inter web are kitty cats to fly with.
