I'd hit it!Is she hot?
@Derg these texts are getting glorious and it's 21:24 your time. WHAR ARRRRR YEWWW?
Better than your FO reaching up and pulling the props into beta when you have both hands on the yoke. And not into reverse like oh I think we're going to go off the runway with 75% of it remaining, but just past ground fine into a little bit of reverse.At a previous employer, I was on probation, I got too high, too hot, and the Captain said "my controls". I was not happy with myself, but I was even less happy that I didn't get to fix my own mistakes.
(We went around anyway.)

I'm in my 40's, big boys don't always have the SMS-capable device handy at all times! I'll check it out in the morning mon.
This particular Captain was going to have an accident sooner or later. This type of "cockpit tyrant" operations always ends up the same. This CA and FO had issues long before this flight....professional conflict, lack of respect for each other, personal relationship gone bad, etc...who knows?I sure hope not.
My info is that there was no call for the controls by the PM. She simply made a last minute (second) grab with application of forward pressure on the yoke. The problem developed as the FO felt additional downward pressure, not knowing this pressure was being applied by the PM. So, reckoning the pressure was coming from the plane, he applied more back pressure. Now the pilots were fighting. When he realized that the PM captain had taken the controls, the FO released his pressure. The sudden release of the FO's back-pressure combined with the captain's excessive forward pressure sent the nose lurching downward onto the runway. Ouch. Silly rabbit captain... Tricks are for kids.

But you do do the durka durkaI don't freaking roll, Taylor!!
But you do do
You didn't want to go to Imperial anyway. You know it...I had a captain tell me once, you're high, but you're fast, so at least you've got that going for you...then he "recommended" some moves, which I made...and it all came out fine
Once as a captain, I had a FO not descend...we went over the field at 10,000 (It was below SL) I made some suggestions, none of which he took, then finally after many bad decisions, as we were getting close to landing, he started drifting off centerline on a 75' runway, I took it. He was mad at me! Anyway...this story is better told over barley pops.
Ya, someone just about stayed in a native village that night.*pow!*
