It would be interesting if someone could post the so called logic behind this crazy scheme, it does not point to an obvious cash saving.
Shak, I'll not trade ticks with you though I would probably win, but I must defend Beags if only on his command of the English language, he is too damn clever by far. I also do agree with him on this however in relation to the AT/Tanker fleet. We had the privilege of wellcoming ex Kipper fleet pilots to BZ and while some were excellent value, not all could get out of the RHS and all benefitted from a time in that seat.
It may be non PC to say so but many years of flying and checking co-pilots have convinced me that the ones who winge most about being a co-pilot are often those who have an over optimistic opinion of their ability, the good guys get on with it and use the opportunity to learn as much as they can, both the good and the bad, from the LHS occupant.
PS, I know what you mean about AEO's, they are good at eating though.
