I've been looking for a blog like this because I too have started a list of Bad Captain/Good Captain traits.<br /><br />This past week has been spent paired up with a Captain who always has a chip on his shoulder, is rude, cuts people off in mid-sentence, is always in a rush even when there is no reason, often blurs the lines of Pilot Flying/Pilot Not Flying duties by doing both, being impatient and rude with Air Traffic Control and other things which are not proper to mention.<br /><br />There are some Captains out there who do feel that their job is like a work of art. Having 'good hands and feet' is not enough. Treating your crew well is probably the best advice I've heard today.<br /><br />Thanks again for you good post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10991135.post-72020897120564615782008-04-23T13:34:00.000-05:002008-04-23T13:34:00.000-05:00Thanks for your blog.Tomorrow I will be assessed f...Thanks for your blog.<BR/><BR/>Tomorrow I will be assessed for my command on Airbus.

Once I had a real dangerous captain who thought he was the the best and repeatedly followed his orders with the statement "I'm the Captain and this is an order". Well I discussed this with my mentor who told me: "Being in charge is like being a pretty girl. If you have to tell people you are... you're not." He then said "This guy's not a captain so don't worry, he won't last long." Well he didn't... but that's another story!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10991135.post-1118018094028585822005-06-05T19:34:00.000-05:002005-06-05T19:34:00.000-05:00Yet again, Sam, I am impressed by your insight. Do...Yet again, Sam, I am impressed by your insight. Don't forget this one, however: "A GC gives credit where credit is due, yet won't let his FO get away with just anything."<BR/><BR/>I didn't spend very much time as a First Officer before I upgraded and spent the better part of six years in the left seat at my last company. However, I find myself back in the right seat again.<BR/><BR/>While I was an FO, I built two files in my brain and labeled them (as you did), "Good Captain" and "Bad Captain." Keep filing things in both those archives until you upgrade, and then promise yourself that you'll live by them to the best of your ability.<BR/><BR/>Though I occasionally digressed from my promise to myself, I always was able to center myself with thoughts of "How would I feel were I my FO?" And even though there were one or two people whom I really didn't get along with, I'd like to think that most of my FOs thought I was good at my job.<BR/><BR/>Great post!GChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03895460508495630859noreply@blogger.com
