Narrative:
In sum: a copilot on a repositioning flight flew with a captain that was notorious for being non standard in his operation. Checklists were not performed the operation was rushed. The reporter felt very behind and made communication errors during takeoff by using the wrong radio. The approach was non-standard flown below the GS and with excessive speed. After the flight was over the captain inquired as to whether the reporter had been frightened. He had but felt because of company politics and his position, he could not report the captain's unprofessional behavior. The reporter was traumatized by the whole episode and appears to feel he should have done something different to stop what he termed reckless operation.
