Classic example of the captain overloading the FO....almost comical to a point, however, I’ve experienced this in both seats over the last 20+ years of commercial flying. An important key is learning to recognizing that you’re doing this in a high task load environment. Prioritization and rhythm of tasks is a critical skill pilots need to learn but are often not directly taught.
That's why in 2015 the Germanwings co-pilot locked the Captain out of the cockpit and flew the plane into the side of a mountain. Probably got pissed of the Captain was calling him Jim, when that wasn't his name.
OMG, this reminds me of being a Cath Lab RN (twenty years🙄). Cardiologist: “Okay…I’ll take a 2.5 x 15 can I have an EBU 3.5 and a short Prowater, give another one and fifty, oh and give 5000of heparin. (Technologist): Can I have the indeflator? And some more saline? Cardiologist: “Is the heparin in?” 😂😂😂😳😳😳
There's actually a funnier version of this from an old Pan Am video taken during recurrent training. The copilot's name was Bill, and the video is called "Bill Bill".
From my understanding, Jim was called in from reserve for this bit and had no idea. The captain was told to overwhelm him from the instructor for video purposes.
It is obvious to most observers that the copilot [ Pilot Not Flying ] is overloaded. Crew resource Management properly executed during this emergency will only have a marginal effect on the workload and multi tasking activity that the copilot is demonstrating. This is one of the most challenging training checklist and sequence of events in which crews demonstrate proficiency and it will be few times that you will not feel that you were a little behind the Airplane.
Flew with a captain like that a couple lifetimes ago. Ironically, the company I worked for at that time used this video as an example as what NOT to do!
Ok latest at the time when the guy ask to call company I would have known he was trolling. I would have answered I'm not doing that now and pls stop trolling me.
As my older brother and my father always told me (both airline pilots) when things go to hell you either auger in or get it worked out in a hurry. This simulator video is somewhat hilarious for me to watch as both the Captain and First Officer were not working the problem which was rapidly becoming several "problems".
"Oh, and my slippers and newspaper please, Jim. While you're there, how about a beer?" He, he. That'll teach him not to be a smart ass next time by calling 400 knots at the 80 knot call point.
And there folks is the reason the Germanwings first officer locked the Captain out of the cockpit and committed suicide by flying the plane into the side of a mountain.
