So the short scenario is that you have a weak Captain and a strong IRO. is due to upgrade in the next month and is coaching the CA on things that he does outside company procedure and normal ops to attempt to bring him into conformity.
CA has a difficult time accepting criticism and it comes to a head in flight. As PF FO, I tell them to cut it out and discuss on the ground. IRO gets shut down and CA is stewing.
Receive descent clearance and comply with 2000'+FPM restriction. Amended clearance to xxxx by yyyy. Remove speed brakes and MCP goes into shallow descent. CA states we need 1000FPM or greater. I disagree. CA declares 1000FPM or greater. I comply because it will not violate us or bend metal.
Need Autoland. Not receiving appropriate indications for LAND3/LAND2 just prior to 1500' where we may get appropriate indications in a few feet more. I state I will be disconnecting AP for manual landing. CA states continue with Autoland. WWYD?
