what to do about a dangerous captain

[sluminginpit]

If there is a problem address it with him first! But just a quick observation. You started your post by telling us your type rated in the airplane, then you explained that "he" busted your altitude and airspeed on a departure? Your both flying the departure right?

If this was your first trip for this company with this guy, relax! Fly another trip with him and then decide. Maybe he had an issue at home or with his finances? Not that this makes it right, but you could be overreacting.

You won't always like the guys you fly with but so what, your not there to make friends, your there to pilot the plane. Maybe you need to ask your self if you came on to strong with the " Im type rated in this plane" attitude and offended him into acting "lordy" to you. If after your next trip it goes bad, then talk with other pilots about their flights with him. Make sure there is a general concesus that he is dangerous before proceeding or you may find yourself unemployed. Good Luck

By the way if every a-hole, ego maniac, jerk was dangerous and should be fired, there would be no one left to fly for the airlines !

Hopefully it'll all work out. Keep in mind he may have documented "notes" on you too (whether true or not really won't be the issue).......so working it out is an option you should strongly consider.

Good Luck

He is just an old cragy Lear captain, lighten up, you can fart in the flight deck, and do a lot of things you can't with the other types. If you can't handle it leave and go get a single pilot job....

If the guy's truly an a*hole (I don't doubt it), then it's no secret. However, if it's no secret and he still has a job, he'll still have a job after you say your peace.

If the guy is truly a safety hazard, quit. No job is worth certificate action or your physical well being, especially if you keep telling yourself you should know better.

From your description of your job, I presume you're sacrificing a paycheck in exchange for jet time? FO or CA's at those types of jobs don't stick around for very long. Depending on the area you live in, there's probably other jobs around.
