Narrative:

Leg from yeg to slc. Our clearance was to fly from gtf to dbs. Our omega was working, but the captain was not using it. At approximately the midway point, I noticed that we had full scale deflection on the CDI's (mine was on gtf and captain's on dbs). I mentioned that it looked like we were drifting a bit. The captain made no correction. At this point it looked like we might miss dbs (the start of the cartr arrival to slc) by about 10 mi or so. The captain was reluctant to make a correction until center mentioned our deviation. We ended up getting vectors to join the arrival. The captain was reluctant to accept any input from his crew. He was, however, very explicit in his instructions given to the rest of the crew and was upset if not followed immediately and to the letter.

AT APPROX THE MIDWAY POINT, I NOTICED THAT WE HAD FULL SCALE DEFLECTION ON THE CDI'S (MINE WAS ON GTF AND CAPT'S ON DBS). I MENTIONED THAT IT LOOKED LIKE WE WERE DRIFTING A BIT. THE CAPT MADE NO CORRECTION. AT THIS POINT IT LOOKED LIKE WE MIGHT MISS DBS (THE START OF THE CARTR ARR TO SLC) BY ABOUT 10 MI OR SO. THE CAPT WAS RELUCTANT TO MAKE A CORRECTION UNTIL CTR MENTIONED OUR DEV. WE ENDED UP GETTING VECTORS TO JOIN THE ARR. THE CAPT WAS RELUCTANT TO ACCEPT ANY INPUT FROM HIS CREW.
