This FO went from "Left-seat worthy" to "just along for the ride" in approximately 60 seconds, probably because of the Captain's hunch and somewhat unconvincing argument that there was a strong possibility, despite considerable doubt, that just maybe, all would be OK.
Two words that jump out at me are professionalism and get-there-itis.
I'm sure there's a little bit of these guys in each of us.
Wanna bet we examine this series of events (the Captain - FO conversation) in our CRM courses for the next couple years?
