Recently I have had the opportunity to fly with someone who has had MUCH more experience than I do, flying heavy stuff, and is very senior with the company he flies for. Needless to say, I was a little intimidated to fly with him....And based on his demeanor (cocky, callous) on the ground, I thought we may have some conflicts. However, I'm happy to say that I have been very pleasantly suprised. He is a completely different person in the airplane. Very knowlegeable (obviously), But completely humble about his lack of recency in singles. He has obviously had a lot of CRM training.
I'm sure this 'personality change' experience may not be new to many of you, and I've seen this a little bit before, but never so dramatic. I am amazed at the transition a person's personality can undergo when they are in the airplane vs. out of the airplane, at least in a situation such as this. I know that with students this happens a lot, but I'm curious to hear other people's similar experiences...good and bad.
