Narrative

DURING A FLT FROM TPE TO HKG WHILE THE CAPT WAS THE PF HE USED ON DEP AND ON ARR INTO HKG NAV METHODS CONTRARY TO COMPANY PROCS AND POLICIES WHICH RESULTED IN DEVS FROM THE SID OUT OF TPE AND OUR CLRNC FROM HKG APCH CTL TO A FIX ON THE ILS RWY 25L. BOTH MYSELF; PNF; AND THE SO OBJECTED TO HIS ACTIONS AND DID TRY TO ENSURE STAYING ON COURSE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THE CAPT EXHIBITED A LACK OF DISCIPLINE; SYS KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF ATC PROCS ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE UNITED STATES AIRSPACE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE FO; WHO IS QUITE SENIOR WITH THE AIRLINE; STATED THAT THE CAPT HAS AN EGO PROB AND DOES NOT LIKE TO LISTEN TO THE OPINIONS OF THE OTHER CREW MEMBERS. THE CAPT IS FAIRLY NEW TO THE B747 BUT HAS FLOWN THE INTL RTES ON DC10 FOR A NUMBER OF YRS. HIS BASIC PROB SEEMED TO BE ONE OF PERSONALITY AND LACKING THE ABILITY TO LISTEN TO OTHERS AND TO COORD WITH THEM PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY ACTION. HE WAS IN THE HABIT OF REACHING OVER AND CHANGING NAV SETTINGS ON THE FO'S SIDE WITHOUT WARNING; THUS CONFUSING THE FO AS TO WHAT THEIR ACTUAL POS WAS OR WOULD BE. HE DID NOT USE THE INS AS STANDARD PROCS BUT WOULD 'GUESS' ON HEADINGS TO A CLRED POINT. THE FO ON OTHER OCCASIONS TRIED THE UNION PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS APCH WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS; SO HE HAS DECLINED THAT RTE IN THIS CASE. HE SAYS; THAT WITH THE COMPUTER ENHANCED BIDDING SYS NOW IN USE; HE CAN AVOID FLYING WITH THIS CAPT.
