During the flight, the captain feels uneasy to ask for or listen to suggestions from the F/O. She neither delegates responsibilities nor trust him to manage the flight-deck while she takes a needed bathroom break. They encounter an in-flight emergency that requires coordination and teamwork.

The captain reluctantly gives the approval and the APU is started. Instantaneously, both engine- coupled -generators fail on the side of the “good” engine. Had it not been the quick thinking of the F/O, they would have had a total electrical failure. They declare an emergency and run through the QRH and approach brief. The F/O demonstrates exceptional knowledge about procedures and competence. They are able to make a quick air -return and land safely. What type of heuristic/bias did the captain exhibit?
