Captains that say "I'm laid back"

[asa rat]

So what do you prefer to hear on a brief?

i'm laid back.... now go get me some coffee, beotch!

I think people that do pre-briefings (whatever that is) are not "laid back". Just my .02

Your kidding right? A Captain telling you how he/she likes to run the cockpit, what they require and what they dont. . . etc, etc etc. And you think that defines not being laid back?

Laid back or not a breifing is something the the FAA and the NTSB consider crucial to saftey. I remember I once flew with a guy who didn't do one and it wasn't until we were taking the runway that I found out that I was flying the leg.

I'm really laid back but I do things by the book. WTF

It's very easy to do that, that's WTF! I agree you don't have to brief that.

I heard many different things as an FO. As long as you do your $hit right, and the CA doesn't compromise your's or the PAX safety, who cares? You're either having a beer with the crew, or by yourself.

As a CA for the second time, trust me, there are tools on both sides of the fence. Have to wonder about the thread starter.

Captain leadership training is extremely poor... especialy in the regionals...

Can someone post a sample briefing.

In the name of all that is holy, DO NOT touch anything that is:

a. Red in color

b. Has dust on it

Thank you.

Best F/O's brief: My leg, your tickets. Questions?

 

[BAe3100FO]

I'm laid-back when it's my leg...

I'm by the book when it's yours...

Now where's my coffee? Two creams - Three sugars...

Any questions?

I'm laid-back when it's my leg...

I'm by the book when it's yours...

It wasn't until I upgraded that I found the truth in that statement.

Captain leadership at the majors is pretty poor also there scooter
