I told one of my pilots, "Don't worry sir. It's your job to fly them, my job to fix them, but I wish you would please not give me so much practice, Sir." This followed a strong discussion over this pilot always breaking the aircraft. I picked my words and attitude with care because he really was a good officer and pilot, just a little heavy handed with the aircraft. It worked. We went for eight months and over 3,000 flight hours without grounding the aircraft for any major failures.

Think before you react. Use your common sense, try to surprise them with your wit, and take the high road. But then if that don't work then......

I know a little about rantin' and ravin'. I learned something I will never forget; raising your voice and violence are never really going to solve anything or do anyone any right.
From my childhood I've learned what is right and wrong, but you can be darn sure I'm gonna think a little before raising hand or voice.
I figure it's all common sense. Just think about how you want to be treated, and do that. But, I'm pretty young to be preachin about something like this.
