I never got angry and never thought it was equivalent either. I just said the things that annoyed me and I overcame the problem by announcing every single move I make well in advance. If the CA disagreed then I am all ears and eager to learn the reason behind it. But I did work hard to learn the airplane so assuming I don’t know anything right of the bat is something I didn’t like. Doesn’t mean I was arrogant or disrespectful. I politely and respectfully handle the situation and try my best to not hurt any egos. It is annoying but as an FO you deal with it. And around 90% CA I flew with were awesome. It’s the 10% that treated me like that. And lately that percentage has significantly reduced.
