Are you sure it wasn't Captain Happy?......
My God, ok, I'll sit in the jumpseat if I want to, ok? There's like other passengers for the seats back there and you didn't tell me which seat to take, so I'll take whichever one I want. I make a mistake every 3 minutes, and my god there's like 1 jumpseat here, but I don't appreciate your attitude.

I disagree with your last part. We debrief each flight and go over any threats, errors, things we could have done better. Each flight is an opportunity to improve. You might not have known you screwed up or are even aware of something you continuously do wrong but if it gets brought up after a regular flight debrief it might save you in a sim check, line check or FAA.
Now doing a debrief or critique on a taxi in is not the right time.

I should have been more specific, I was referring to critiques/criticisms from a jumpseater/deadheading pilot. Unless something unsafe is happening, probably best to just sit there quietly.

LOL, you seriously make me laugh.
Yeah, I said hey cap'n, you're going on TOTD because some severely butt-hurt coastie thinks after 7000+ posts in TOTD we are now honor-bound to report to our subject matter that they will highlighted on a web forum that maybe 5% of the flying population reads. I'll get right on that. At least I apologized for my stupidity, looks like you've doubled down on yours.
Seriously man, you've got some major underlying anger issues. Get some help.

You're not commuting to reserve, you're not sitting sideways in a 727, you haven't been furloughed, and your biggest problem is if the captain doesn't take his seat in the back on a DH..hilarious! I really liked the part where you get all butt-hurt when the FA's praise the captain and he has the gall to criticize your landing..during taxi back to the gate, no less! Man, that was hysterical!
And then you run back to APC with your tail between your legs to call all of your fellow DL pilots DB's and ATL guys tools hoping to get a pat on the back on this thread..that was the best therapy a butt-hurt Coastie like me could ever hope for!
Thanks again! Keep up the good work and let us know if you fly with any more tools! Who am I kidding? Of course you will!
I'm feeling better already..CG Out

In the airline world we never--NEVER--"debrief" following a routine flight. That would be mind-blowingly pointless.
Now if a checklist or a procedure had changed, and the other guy hadn't yet "gotten the memo" then yes, a quick reminder or pointer would be in order. If the landings were terrible all the time, and you know a good way to fix the issue, that MIGHT be a time to politely bring something up. There are no doubt other times when a little "hey don't forget that we are supposed to do such and such this way, and the company is really emphasizing that" might be called for.
But if we nitpicked every flight (up to five times a day) with "well your taxiing was a bit faster than ideal, work on your radio procedures, my technique is to call for the checklist at such and such a time, and why don't you think about doing the same?" we would all collectively go catatonic with the uber-stupidity of it all.

It's required. It can be as simple as "I think that flight went great", or could be a lot more in depth.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to the landing critique on taxi in he mentioned.
