Would you rather me fight the captain for the controls?

Thais is exactly what we're suggesting here..."I have the controls". Discuss what disaster you averted later.

This sounds just like one of the 135 pilots I used to fly with. He'd be at the controls, I'd be working the radios, and then he'd argue with me about what ATC was telling us to do. He was always sure he knew what was going on and didn't want to listen to me. Luckily nothing too serious happened when I was at that company other than getting yelled at by ATC a couple times.

Also, same thing where checklists were memorized. Not kidding I never saw him reference a checklist for anything, and he didn't want me picking it up either.

I disagree with that point. Good airmanship dictates that one references one's checklist at all times in every phase of flight.

I agree. These fools purposely skipping checklists have no place in the business. They will drag you down with them because they generally have a list of violations which will prevent them from ever moving on. This is sometimes why they are Captains at shady operations (the boss knows they won't/can't leave). It isn't worth it man, start looking elsewhere. I watched a friend of mine get a permanent letter after an accident directly caused by some dipsh*t who "didn't have time" for a tire change.
