Good review session for some of the senior pilots & a reminder that CRM does not mean Captain Remains Master

Actually, the "experts" are realizing that they went too far the other way in the beginning of CRM. It used to be that CRM was "touchy-feely", don't do anything to "offend" the F/O and they found that the original version of CRM did not have a clearly defined chain of command ( F/O- I don't feel comfortable ). They are now teaching that the Captain is ALWAYS in COMMAND, and to COMMAND the aircraft WHILE taking into consideration ALL available information from ALL available resources.
