A B727-100 FO RPT ON INADEQUATE LEVELS OF CRM WITHIN THE COCKPIT DURING A POORLY EXECUTED ILS APCH TO MIA; FL.

Narrative

ON MAY/FRI/01; I WAS ASSIGNED TO FLY 4 FLTS BTWN NASSAU AND MIAMI. THIS WAS PART OF A 4 DAY SEQUENCE INVOLVING THE SAME FLTS EVERY DAY. THE CAPT FLEW THE AIRPLANE ON THE FIRST 2 FLTS; THE THIRD FLT; FROM NASSAU TO MIAMI WAS MY LEG. ON CONTACTING MIA APCH; WE WERE GIVEN VECTORS FOR THE ILS RWY 9R APCH. THE CAPT SAID 'I WILL TUNE THE LOC ON YOUR SIDE; AND LEAVE THE VOR ON MY SIDE.' I AGREED TO THIS. FINAL INSTRUCTIONS FROM APCH FOR INTERCEPTING THE LOC WERE 'FLY HDG 060 DEGS; MAINTAIN 1500 FT UNTIL ESTABLISHED; CLRED ILS RWY 9R APCH.' WE HAD GND CONTACT; BUT THERE WAS NO VISIBILITY THROUGH THE FORWARD WINDSHIELD. AS I TURNED TO THE HDG; THE LOC STARTED TO COME IN; AND I BEGAN MY TURN TO INTERCEPT THE LOC. THE CAPT THEN SAID; 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FLY THE HDG UNTIL ESTABLISHED!' I REPLIED 'I AM ESTABLISHED!' HE SAID 'I HAVE THE AIRPLANE' AND TOOK CTL; TURNING BACK TO THE 060 DEG HDG. THE CAPT CONTINUED TO FLY THROUGH THE LOC; TOWARD THE RWY 9L APCH COURSE. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE RADIOS AND SAW THAT HE STILL HAD THE DOLPHIN VOR; 113.9; TUNED ON NAV #1; ALTHOUGH HE HAD THE LOC COURSE; 092 DEGS; ON HIS HSI. SINCE THE DOLPHIN VOR IS ALMOST ALIGNED WITH RWY 9L; CONTINUING ON THIS COURSE WOULD HAVE PUT US IN CONFLICT WITH THE TFC TO THAT RWY. I WAS NOT SURE WHAT TO SAY; ALTHOUGH A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SIT WAS DEVELOPING; HE HAD FORCEFULLY MADE IT CLR HE REGARDED HIMSELF TO BE RIGHT AND ME WRONG; AND IF I SAID ANYTHING HE WOULD SILENCE ME. AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD; HE LOOKED DOWN AT HIS RADIOS; REALIZED HIS MISTAKE AND TUNED IN THE RWY 9R LOC. HE HAD FULL SCALE DEFLECTION AT THIS POINT. HE TURNED BACK TO THE R AND INTERCEPTED THE LOC. AFTER PARKING HE SAID TO ME 'DON'T YELL AT ME IN MY COCKPIT -- DON'T EVER YELL AT ME IN MY COCKPIT.' I DISAGREE WITH HIS DESCRIPTION OF MY 'YELLING' AT HIM. I SPOKE IN A LOUD; EXCITED VOICE -- THE SAME WAY HE HAD SPOKEN TO ME. I WAS FORCEFULLY STATING THE SIT AS I SAW IT. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE COCKPIT IS A PLACE FOR WEAK PERSONALITIES. I EXPLAINED THAT I WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE WE WERE OVERSHOOTING THE APCH PLATE TO RWY 9R AND FLYING TOWARD THE APCH PATH OF RWY 9R. HE ADMITTED THAT I WAS RIGHT AND HE WAS WRONG; BUT FOR HIM THAT WAS NOT THE ISSUE. HE TOLD ME I HAD USED POOR CRM BY 'YELLING' AT HIM; AND I SHOULD HAVE INFORMED HIM OF HIS MISTAKE IN A CALM; POLITE MANNER. THE NEXT LEG WAS TO BE MINE ALSO; BUT HE ELECTED TO FLY IT AND INSTEAD OF UNINTENTIONALLY MAKING A SERIOUS ERROR; HE DELIBERATELY FLEW BELOW MINIMUMS ON APCH. THIS INCIDENT IS COVERED IN A SEPARATE RPT. HE DID NOT LET ME FLY EITHER OF THE 2 LEGS WE DID THE NEXT DAY; AND WHEN I ASKED HIM ABOUT THIS HE TOLD ME I WOULD ONLY BE FLYING THE AIRPLANE IF I WAS 'NICE' TO HIM.
