Narrative

ON THE MORNING OF FEB/WED/94; CAPT AND MYSELF TOOK OFF FROM STX TO STT. A TWIN OTTER WAS IN FRONT OF US. SAN JUAN CTR GAVE US A 150 KT SPD RESTRICTION NOT TO EXCEED. CAPT IN DISGUST SAID IN SPANISH 'MOTHER MARY; OH MY GOD.' THE CAPT REFUSED TO SLOW DOWN AS REQUESTED. HE DID PULL THE PWR BACK 500 LBS OF TORQUE TO 3000 LBS WHICH RESULTED IN AN IAS OF 185 KTS. WHAT IS REQUIRED IS 2000 LBS OF TORQUE. I SAID CAPT; 'YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN TO 150 KTS FOR SPACING ON THE TWIN OTTER.' I LOOKED AT THE GND SPD INDICATING 195 KTS. SAN JUAN CTR TOLD US AGAIN TO SLOW TO 150 KTS. CAPT EVEN FASTER. THE CTLR; REALIZING WE ARE NOT COMPLYING; GIVES US A VECTOR R TURN 010 DEGS DSND TO 2000 FT. THE CTLR THEN PUT AN AIR NATIONAL GUARD SHORTS IN FRONT OF US FROM STX. THIS MAKES THE CAPT EVEN MADDER. WE ARE R DOWNWIND. ATC ASKS 'YOU HAVE STT IN SIGHT.' THE CAPT SAYS 'TELL HIM NO.' WE FLY FOR ANOTHER 5-8 MI. ATC SAYS VECTORS FOR ILS 10 STT. CAPT THEN SAYS TELL HIM WE HAVE A VISUAL. ATC WAITING A GOOD 20-30 SECONDS AND THEN SAID CONTACT STT TWR 118.8. I BELIEVE THE SIT OCCURRED BECAUSE THE CAPT DOES NOT ENJOY FLYING. HE BIDS HOME RESERVE SO HE CAN SIT HOME AND WATCH TV. HE IS AN OLDER MAN. WHEN WE DO FLY IT; IT IS ALWAYS FULL THROTTLE SO WE CAN GET THERE 10-15 MINS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE SO HE CAN TAKE A BREAK. SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE AIRSPD INDICATOR GOES PAST RED LINE AND THE SPD WARNING HORN GOES OFF 10-15 KTS PAST RED LINE. RED LINE IS 196 KTS. HE SAYS IN EUROPE RED LINE IS 250 KTS. A QUICK REMEDY IS PULL THE CIRCUIT BREAKER. WHEN HE TOOK HIS RECURRENT TRAINING; HE DID IT ALONE; NO FO. HE SAID 'THANK GOD; I WOULD HAVE TO SIT ANOTHER 2 HRS AND WAIT FOR HIM.' HE DOES NOT LIKE TO WORK TOGETHER. WHEN HE DOES LET YOU FLY; YOU ARE NOT REALLY FLYING. HE TELLS YOU; CLB AT THIS SPD; NO; DO NOT DSND NOW; PULL PWR BACK; PUSH PWR UP. HIS OPINION OF FO IS FLAP OPERATOR!
