A few US carriers have these touchy-feely ideas as well.
The flight deck crew should be up front on the flight deck. tending to business.
Now certainly nothing wrong with wanting to say goodbye to the pax, but with the design of the door, doesn't seem reasonably possible.
Think you need a new Chief Pilot, technical.
And why more than one CP on the fleet?
Sounds top heavy with management to me.
Suspect the CP (technical) needs to be technically planted in the LHS, to earn his keep.
OTOH, pity the First Officer
