EMB145 CAPT LAMENTS THE LACK OF STANDARDIZATION BY HIS FO DURING QRH PROCEDURES FOR A BLEED AIR LEAK PASSING 8000 FEET IN THE CLIMB.

Narrative

WE WERE CLBING OUT AFTER DEP. AT APPROX 8000 FT WE GOT A RED BLEED LEAK ON THE L ENG AND A RED MASTER WARNING. THE FO WAS THE PF SO IT WAS MY JOB TO DEAL WITH THE PROB. I LOOKED UP AND NOTICED THAT THE BLEED DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE WHICH TOLD ME THAT THE LEAK WAS NOT IN THE REAR AVIONICS. I REACHED UP AND SHUT THE L BLEED OFF AND PULLED OUT THE QRH. AT THAT TIME THE FO CALLED FOR THE AUTOPLT TO BE ENGAGED WHICH I SELECTED. I STARTED READING THE QRH OUT LOUD AND I HEARD A CLICK SOUND. I LOOKED UP AND THE FO WAS NO LONGER FLYING THE AIRPLANE BUT WAS FOCUSED ON THE BLEED LEAK PROB. I HAD TO STOP WHAT I WAS DOING; LOOK TO SEE IF THE PLANE WAS CORRECTLY CLBING AND ON COURSE; THEN TELL THE FO TO FLY THE PLANE SO THAT I COULD DEAL WITH THE LEAK; THEN FIGURE OUT WHAT SWITCH THE FO FLIPPED; THEN GO BACK TO THE QRH AND DEAL WITH THE PROB. VALUABLE TIME WAS LOST DEALING WITH THE BLEED LEAK BECAUSE THE FO DID NOT REMAIN THE PF. I WAS TOLD PREVIOUSLY BY THIS FO THAT NOBODY THAT THEY FLY WITH FOLLOWS THE SOP AND THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FLY WITH ME BECAUSE I EXPECT THE FO TO KNOW AND FOLLOW THE SOP. I CAN PROBABLY AGREE WITH THE FO BECAUSE MOST FO'S I FLY WITH WANT TO FLY AS A SINGLE PLT AND THERE IS NO DIVISION OF LABOR. THE PROB ARISES WHEN THERE IS A MALFUNCTION AND SINCE THE PLTS HAVE NOT BUILT GOOD HABITS; THE COCKPIT BECOMES A CLUSTER. I READ RPTS AND TRY TO IDENT IF THE PF REMAINED THE PF AND IN THE CASES THAT THEY DIDN'T; I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE RESULT WAS DISCIPLINARY ACTION AGAINST THE PLTS BECAUSE SAFETY ISSUES WERE NOT FOLLOWED. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SO MANY PLTS INSIST ON NOT FOLLOWING THE GUIDELINES OF THE SOP. I HAVE TALKED WITH PLTS WHO LEFT TO GO FLY WITH ACR Y AND ACR Z AND WAS TOLD THAT EVERYONE AT THE MAJORS TAKES THE SOP SERIOUSLY; UNLIKE ACR X. WHY IS THERE SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE IN ATTITUDE?
