I'm not so much worried by the poor checklist selection as I am about so much time footling around looking up sets of rules while still in the 'Aviate' phase of an emergency.
I know PNF's task, but is it not a time even they should be soaking up technical details - facts about just what is going on and applying immediate assistance when possible? I'm dreaming, aren't I? It just doesn't seem to happen anymore, except I get the feeling the older crews still demand to know just how things work while the newer generation seem more content with 'just fly the thing'. Does that go with the 'magenta line' kids, or is it only some people have a natural need to know every nut, bolt and washer?
