AN FO RPTS THAT HE MIS-SET HIS ALTIMETER AND HE DEPLORES HIS CAPT'S APCH TO THE CHKLIST.

Narrative

CLEARED IN A STEP DSCNT TO 1800 MSL FROM 22000; I MISTAKENLY SET MY ALTIMETER TO LGA SETTING (30.22) NOT LEAVING 29.92 FOR THE LEVEL OFF AT 18K. CAPT CAUGHT IT (WE WERE 300 FT OFF) AND WE CORRECTED. I WOULD LIKE SOME WAY OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT MY PERCEPTIONS OF THIS CAPT'S LAX AND UNPROFESSIONAL (IN MY OPINION) RUNNING OF HIS COCKPIT WARRANT MY BRINGING IT TO SOMEONE'S ATTENTION TO CHANGE IT; OR IF I AM INDEED TOO INFLEXIBLE. SINCE WE HAD 2 PROBS ON 1 TRIP HE AND I OBVIOUSLY NEED TO WORK SOMETHING OUT; BUT IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME TO INITIATE IT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR FLIES THE 767 AND 757 FOR A MAJOR UNITED STATES ACR. THE SECOND PROB THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE SYS IS THE CAPT'S LACKADAISICAL APCH TO THE CHKLIST. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS; THE FO WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE CAPT AGREE TO HAVE THE FO READ THE CHKLIST ANY TIME HE WANTS TO. THIS WAS ENOUGH TO SMOOTH OUT THE SIT. THE FO DOES NOT THINK THIS WARRANTS A REFERRAL TO HIS UNION'S PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS COMMITTEE.
