Narrative:
Prior to taxi, captain became angry because ATC could not find our clearance. (He had filed from fxe instead of fll, so he had to refile, which caused us to delay.) he advised me to start and we would pick up clearance on taxi. I could not hear anything in my headset and advised captain. He insisted I taxi at his instruction. Reluctantly, I obeyed. I stopped when he put his head down doing checklist because I did not want to taxi, not having heard ATC instruction. When he looked up at my insistence, he informed I needed to make a turn I would have missed had I not stopped. He picked up clearance on taxi, fll 8, thndr transition. (I was very familiar with it.) I asked him twice to include thndr in FMS set-up. First he ignored me, then he refused, advising me to fly to dolphin VOR then rws. I was wrong to let him bully me into taking off. He called tower for takeoff and rushed us onto runway. After takeoff, on climb out to assigned altitude, I told him to call ATC and query them if we could proceed from runway heading (which was assigned) to thndr. They confirmed. He looked at me surprised, said 'oh, student is teaching teacher,' and finally put thndr in FMS for me. ATC never advised that we were off course or of any problem. However, I felt this whole event was a problem as far as lack of crew coordination. I was astounded that a captain with several thousand hours refused to set up correct SID in FMS. I only proceeded because I knew how to fly this SID. I would never allow any pilot to do that to me again. If someone unfamiliar had been in my seat, I fear that results could have been very different.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A BEECH JET 400 FO HAS A DIFFICULT TIME WITH A NON STANDARD PIC WHO ESTABLISHED A LEVEL OF INTIMIDATION OVER THE FO WHEN THE FO'S HEADSET WAS NOT WORKING AT FLL, FL.
Narrative: PRIOR TO TAXI, CAPT BECAME ANGRY BECAUSE ATC COULD NOT FIND OUR CLRNC. (HE HAD FILED FROM FXE INSTEAD OF FLL, SO HE HAD TO REFILE, WHICH CAUSED US TO DELAY.) HE ADVISED ME TO START AND WE WOULD PICK UP CLRNC ON TAXI. I COULD NOT HEAR ANYTHING IN MY HEADSET AND ADVISED CAPT. HE INSISTED I TAXI AT HIS INSTRUCTION. RELUCTANTLY, I OBEYED. I STOPPED WHEN HE PUT HIS HEAD DOWN DOING CHKLIST BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO TAXI, NOT HAVING HEARD ATC INSTRUCTION. WHEN HE LOOKED UP AT MY INSISTENCE, HE INFORMED I NEEDED TO MAKE A TURN I WOULD HAVE MISSED HAD I NOT STOPPED. HE PICKED UP CLRNC ON TAXI, FLL 8, THNDR TRANSITION. (I WAS VERY FAMILIAR WITH IT.) I ASKED HIM TWICE TO INCLUDE THNDR IN FMS SET-UP. FIRST HE IGNORED ME, THEN HE REFUSED, ADVISING ME TO FLY TO DOLPHIN VOR THEN RWS. I WAS WRONG TO LET HIM BULLY ME INTO TAKING OFF. HE CALLED TWR FOR TKOF AND RUSHED US ONTO RWY. AFTER TKOF, ON CLBOUT TO ASSIGNED ALT, I TOLD HIM TO CALL ATC AND QUERY THEM IF WE COULD PROCEED FROM RWY HDG (WHICH WAS ASSIGNED) TO THNDR. THEY CONFIRMED. HE LOOKED AT ME SURPRISED, SAID 'OH, STUDENT IS TEACHING TEACHER,' AND FINALLY PUT THNDR IN FMS FOR ME. ATC NEVER ADVISED THAT WE WERE OFF COURSE OR OF ANY PROB. HOWEVER, I FELT THIS WHOLE EVENT WAS A PROB AS FAR AS LACK OF CREW COORD. I WAS ASTOUNDED THAT A CAPT WITH SEVERAL THOUSAND HRS REFUSED TO SET UP CORRECT SID IN FMS. I ONLY PROCEEDED BECAUSE I KNEW HOW TO FLY THIS SID. I WOULD NEVER ALLOW ANY PLT TO DO THAT TO ME AGAIN. IF SOMEONE UNFAMILIAR HAD BEEN IN MY SEAT, I FEAR THAT RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT.
