Yes Miles,I agree, a very good thread.
For a seat only about three feet to the left it is a world away.
Flying the A/C (i.e. that all important landing "greaser)" is paramount to an F/O where it is very much secondary to a Captain (can't do them anyway!)
There is much more going on over here than I ever realised as an F/O. And a good F/O is worth his weight in gold!
Enjoy the ride,the time spent in the R/H seat is not wasted (it just seems that way).
And the end result is worth it.
