Former pilot Stefan Bender has commented in a 'Der Spiegel' article about life in the cockpit.
"The captain is God, the co-pilot holds his coat. An atmosphere exists in the cockpit, which is similar to that in an army barracks, where the co-pilot is humiliated. Such an extreme hierarchical system is completely contrary to any sort of philosophy which implies a shared responsiblity. The co-pilot has nothing to offer."
Surely a reality not exclusive to cockpits?
