And after the words, I'd let you hone your radio skills on all future legs we fly together. It's my job to train up my replacement after all. :rolleyes:

Every part 121 FOM I have ever seen listed education/guidance as a required function of the Captain. Your's have obviously been failing you in this regard.

As to your last sentence, if I was your Captain and you had "words" with me about how I needn't fulfill my FOM required duty to educate you on where you were lacking your next "words" would be with the Chief Pilot explaining why you were the first FO I had ever removed from a trip. My guess is "he was politely trying to correct me on my abhorrent ATC knowledge and I was arrogant and unreceptive" won't be the answer he was looking for.

I've had Captains educate me in the past. Some good some bad. I didn't enjoy it, but I took it like a professional and absorbed the wisdom.

Pride and ignorance are a deadly combo and will get you killed in a airplane.

You seem to be missing the point and mocking the wrong person. Being a little rusty on IFR procedures at uncontrolled fields is somewhat forgivable and not the issue. Covering for your ignorance with rude and counterproductive behavior is. Add being unreceptive to needed correction and you've got a real d-bag pilot looking for a place to have a serious accident. What happens when this genius applies this attitude to something more critical than radio decorum?

I've found there are 2 types of captains. Those who tell you things in an abrasive manner to remind you what you don't know and those who tell you things in a sincere manner in hopes of making you a better and more well rounded pilot.

I agree. Captains have many duties and responsibilities. The former is failing in his CRM duties and just passing in his educational duties. The latter is passing both with flying colors. I enjoy flying with, and strive to be the latter.:D

You actually bring up a good point. Having a ****ing match with your CA is not the right thing to do. Especially if the guy has enough seniority to turn out your lights. Obviously this is not to say you shouldn't speak up when you see something wrong. But if he says that you didn't properly contact FSS, you should listen. The FOs have to be good at accepting that anyways.:D

Cool your jets JetPipeOverht, before you overheat :D Seriously man, unless you were the FO in question, don't fight the thread. And if you are the FO mentioned by the OP, you need to check your attitude.
