Said if he caught me trying to see where I was going, he would put someone else in the seat.
I fought the urge to "look"....turned exactly as he instructed.
Moral of the stories. I always go with the first thing I learned (It is my responsiblity) unless an angry looking Tech Sgt, responsible for a billion dollar airframe, is threatening otherwise.

Stinks that you can't trust the help of others....doesn't surprise me that they would deny accountability.
