Two Captain Crew.....A no-no......
Hey hey guys.This is ENTIRELY a safety issue and moreso a legal one.Firstly......You can ONLY have ONE PIC...!! Now here is the problem.When u roster 2 line captains the biggest safety issue is if the fella on the left gets incapacitated!! THATS when the problem starts.The RHS captain is NOT RHS qualified to land the airplane......more importantly he may not be comfortable or even safe in doing so from the RHS ( say low vis conditions,strong cross winds and other adverse wx conditions etc etc....not even MENTIONING an emergency..!! ).This is the safety part.Then comes the legal part.You CANNOT(in most countries)allow and justify a line captain to occupy the RHS seat for line ops,except in DIRE company requirments......wherein too the captains(both)or captain(senior one),are called in for a 1 hour Sim ride Pre-flight to enable his RHS qualification......!!! If both attend the sim session then they fly "one way each"(50% legs done by either capt occupying the LHS......also HE is the PIC for those legs),wheras if only one attends the sim booking then only HE shall occupy the RHS seat and do the functions of a F/O throughout. Needless to say that in ALL the above scenarios both captains get full capt pay....!!! It is mandatory for at least one captain in a two captain scenario to be RHS qual.Any other situation makes the cockpit unsafe and MOST importantly.....illegal.Opens a chasm of argument opportunities for the insurance companies and their lawyers in a ( god forbid ),post accident analysis. I for one have refused such flights on a number of occasions with(touch wood)no repercussions whatsoever...!!Tailwinds to all.
