When it is your turn to be Captain, you can run your cockpit with minimal CRM all you like. Until then, try to relax and learn. This is far from a negative way to run the flight deck and is probably done with safety in mind and so both pilots are paying attention

No. Captains should do things the way they are supposed to be done. And being unstandard is a big deal.

Do your job the way they pay you to do your job.
What’s ground contact? Like instead of runway in sight?

A non-standard call some guys make when you’re coming out of the bottom of the clouds and start to see the ground below you don’t have the lights/runway in sight.

No, it’s the ILS callout when you feel a huge impact, hear a loud noise, and notice that the VSI has gone to zero.

Never heard that one. You’re the captain do you tell them to use standard call outs?

The training department cares. Do your job right. This isn’t some regional where it’s hip and cool to be non-standard.

Whats wrong with saying ground contact? It lets the pilot flying know that the aircraft is about to break out of the cloud deck.
