The captain is known to require punctuality, his pride was hurt when due to the late arrival of the first officer the departure of the aircraft was delayed by 13 minutes.
New Zealand's Civil Aviation Authority reported the captain stated that later into the flight the aircraft was approaching a navigational waypoint, the captain was focussing on the procedures, saw a member of the cabin crew in the monitor and thought the cabin crew would like to enter the cockpit, therefore did not respond to the request to open the door. Both pilots were stood down after the flight and received additional training and counselling, the captain for two and the first officer for one week. The CAA is satisfied with a report provided by the airline indicating that both pilots learned a valuable lesson about the necessity to communicate better with their peers.
