Sober up before hitting send...
Latest email to crew force about FO's grabbing the controls from Captains is a little strange to say the least. Why don't we just have whoever's leg it is be the captain too. That way nobody's feelings get hurt. I thought it was always pretty much a given that a good FO would be heads up enough to do something before I try to kill him.

If you are seated at a set of controls and you are about to bend metal and/or die, you get an active vote, period. The "...you better be right" statement is a terrible statement to make to any crew member on any aircraft, ever. They talk about that one on day one of safety school.

I had to read that several times, because I couldn'd believe someone would actually say that.
I had a very good Commander once tell me. Do what ever it takes to fly safe, and if we have to have a discussion about it; two guys safe on the ground gives you a pretty good position to argue from.
