I had a captain many years ago who refused to wear his shoulder harnesses (5
point belt on a B727). I was an F/E back then, and when after I reminded him
during the descent/in range checklist about the harnesses, he would scream
"ON" even though they weren't.

So what did you do about it?

Nothing. I was still on probation (1 yr) at that time. If he said "on" that
was good enough for me. It's like jumpseat riding. Once the captain
approves you for the jumpseat, and then says "there's plenty of room in the
back", it's a polite way of saying "get outa here"!

Polehinke: (5:56:34) Right seat flex takeoff procedures off of um ... he
said what runway? One of 'em. Two four.

Clay: (05:56:43) It's two two.

Note that the FO did not know which runway was appropriate. Only one
was suitable so only one runway (22) should have even been considered
as the one to depart from.
