Guys, we are doing a LOT OF THINGS that are not condusive to safe flying.....
NUF SAID
Maybe this is part of what Jack was talking about. That f/o should have had his phone stuck far up his ass by YOU about 4 seconds into that conversation. That type of stuff doesn't wait for the debrief. Self policing, mentoring, etc. Personally, I'd rather be chewed out by a Captain than Jack or Cheever. Nip it in the bud.
