I'm only doing six sectors this month, two of them will be as the heavy pilot, and I'll have a continous stretch of 12 days off between them. Thats on a full time roster. Does that make me unsafe?
It is amazing and indeed quite scary that functions you perform without conscious thought when you are "in the groove" often quite unexpectedly become unfamiliar
I presume from this you fly short haul? Perhaps you should pay a visit to BAs long haul fleets where recency and handling practice can be in such short supply that
nothing is performed without conscious thought first. You seem to have confused being slick with being safe.
