Where do they get these people???

I once "knew" someone that had a CA completely disregard an out of date FOM and complete a type of approach for which the aircraft wasn't authorized for (ignoring the fact that the FOM was referring to a different aircraft to begin with...). Meanwhile the FO was reading straight out of a CURRENT FOM that that type of approach wasn't authorized....

We can't make them listen to us. We can do our best to keep them out of trouble and get it on tape but they make the ultimate decisions - it's their prerogative.
