> I’m lacking on the 1500 hours, but other than that, yeah.

Hmm. So by, "yeah," you mean, "no."

> The PIC does not get to make a passenger blow him, just like he can’t come read your emails if he feels like it.

Straw man much? A captain of a 121-op is not going to get on the intercom and ask for this ... and expect to keep their job. Given that most people don't know where the line is drawn, there is an expectation that you do need to follow all directions. There are definitely directions that, if not followed, result in committing a felony. The other side of the expectation is that of professionalism on behalf of the crew:

Google "professionalism" > It is a combination of competence, ethical behavior, and respectful communication.

You would do well to consider the effects of this statement before continuing too far past 1500 hours.

“Frozen ATPL” is the industry term, and I could never have imagined an adult trying to debate the difference when it comes to theoretical education (hint: it’s the same).

So? Nobody is disputing that!

It’s certainly not a felony to disobey directions that are not relevant to flight operations or safety.

You’ve utterly failed to communicate what it is that you apparently disagree with me about, instead you’ve just dropped a bunch of unnecessary personal attacks.

Let’s see:

> Do your pilot credentials include an ATP cert?

An unnecessary insinuation that I’m overstating my credentials.

> Hmm. So by, "yeah," you mean, "no."

A direct allegation that I’m overstating my credentials. Given that only the theory part of ATP training has any relevance to this conversation, what was your purpose here if not to attack my character?

> Google "professionalism"

A rather more direct and entirely baseless accusation of unprofessionalism

> You would do well to consider the effects of this statement before continuing too far past 1500 hours.

An insinuation that I should not be flying planes because ???
