In the Series 1 episode "Boston", when Martin, the neurotic, often insecure pilot, finally swallows his pride and actually asks Douglas, his co-pilot but also a former captain, for advice, suprisingly Douglas doesn't respond with his usual vitriol :
Douglas: Well, the main thing is, you've got to stop asking for advice.
Martin: Great, thanks.
Douglas: That's ok, you can start just as soon as I've given you mine. You're the captain, Martin. And one of the many excellent things about being captain, along with the irresistible sexual magnetism , and first crack at the cheese tray, is that you're always right. So by all means, take opinions, but remember, you don't have to listen to Carolyn, you don't have to listen to ATC, you don't even, and savour this, because I shall never say this again, you don't even have to listen to me. You're the boss. What you say goes.
