SD36 COMMUTER CARGO FO TAKES UMBRAGE WITH THE PIC'S ALLEGED INDIFFERENT ATTITUDE TOWARDS CARGO LOADING AND LATER NAV TECHNIQUES NEAR A RESTR AREA AFTER TKOF FROM OLS; AZ.

Narrative

THE CAPT AND I ARRIVED TO NOGALES ARPT (OLS) AND BEGAN TO LOAD THE FREIGHT. WE ENCOUNTERED PROBS WITH THE FREIGHT THAT FORCED US TO BREAK DOWN AND REARRANGE 2 SKIDS IN ORDER TO LEGALLY FIT THE FREIGHT INSIDE THE CARGO COMPARTMENTS. THE CAPT AND I HAD A DISAGREEMENT WITH THIS SIT. THE CAPT WANTED TO LEAVE THE LAST SKID OUTSIDE THE DESIGNATED FORWARD CARGO COMPARTMENT IN ORDER TO SAVE TIME; BUT I EXPRESSED THAT I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. I WOULD NOT LEAVE UNTIL WE FOUND A WAY TO REARRANGE IT CORRECTLY. THIS PROB PLACED US 20 MINS BEHIND SCHEDULE. THE CAPT RAN IN TO PAY THE BILL AND I WENT TO THE COCKPIT TO GET READY FOR DEP. WHEN THE CAPT CAME BACK; HE SAID THAT THE PHONE WAS NOT WORKING SO WE WOULD HAVE TO RECEIVE CLRNC IN THE AIR. I WAS OK WITH THIS SINCE THE CONDITIONS WERE VFR AND THE CEILINGS WERE HIGH ENOUGH TO CONTACT ATC WHILE REMAINING IN VMC. ONCE WE TOOK OFF AND BEGAN CLBOUT; I BEGAN TO ATTEMPT TO CONTACT TUS APCH. DURING THE CLBOUT; I LOOKED AT THE ENRTE CHART AND REALIZED HOW CLOSE RESTR AIRSPACE WAS TO THE APT. I INFORMED THE CAPT AND HE REPLIED THAT HE KNEW. AS WE CONTINUED CLBING; THE CAPT SLOWLY CHANGED HIS HDG FROM N (PARALLELING THE RESTR AIRSPACE) TO MORE OF A NE HDG. AS HE DID THIS; I AGAIN MENTIONED THE AIRSPACE AND POINTED IT OUT TO HIM. HIS REPLY AGAIN WAS 'I KNOW.' AS HE DID THIS; I BECAME NERVOUS AND BEGAN TO ATTEMPT TO CONTACT TUS APCH MORE FREQUENTLY. UPON INITIAL CONTACT WITH TUS; THEY HAD NEGATIVE RADAR CONTACT AND ADVISED US TO REMAIN VFR. BY THIS TIME; THE CAPT HAD TURNED ON COURSE AND I AGAIN EXPRESSED MY CONCERN. ABOUT THIS TIME; TUS XMITTED THAT THEY HAD RADAR CONTACT AND CLRED US AS FILED. THEY DID NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT THE AIRSPACE; WHICH BROUGHT ME GREAT RELIEF. AFTER THE FLT WAS OVER AND I WAS IN MY HOTEL ROOM; I REVIEWED THE FLT. IN MY OPINION; WE HAD TO BE EXTREMELY CLOSE TO; IF NOT IN; THE RESTR AIRSPACE. THE MAIN PROB WAS THE FACT THAT THE CAPT'S PRIORITY WAS PLACED ON THE SCHEDULE AND NOT SAFETY AND REGS. I HAD ALREADY FOUGHT 1 BATTLE WITH THE CAPT AND WAS RELUCTANT TO TELL HIM TO CHANGE COURSE. AT THE TIME; I FELT EXPRESSING MY CONCERN AND INFORMING HIM OF POTENTIAL PROB WAS ENOUGH. LOOKING BACK; I SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIRM AND DISAGREED WITH HIS DECISION.
