>> During anything other than normal operations, he is near-hysterical and never follows SOP, making nonstandard calls, and ALWAYS takes the plane, rather than fulfilling his role. (e.g. Aborted takeoff due to oil pressure Master Warning alarm as PNF. Checklist says: "PNF: Oil Pressure, ABORT-ABORT-ABORT" This guy: "PNF: MY PLANE!!! <<
I'm not defending this guy, cause it can't be done.....but: Your co. is too "wordy" on a critical situation like an aborted T/O. At TWA with the F/O making the T/O the Captain said: "I've got it". At American the Capt says "Abort" and grabs the controls. Slightly different words but the same theme; very few words in a situation with no time for words. For the PNF to see the problem then formulate the specific words and then say Abort 3 times, well by then you're off the end of the runway!
