Another point well made is that the Captains who fly in the RHS only do the bare modicum of training; this is true even for Training Captains who are so qualified. We do not have time in the simulator for coping with a rapid decompression from the other seat, even though this is more likely than an engine failure!! If there is a lesson to be learnt from the Helios accident, all crew members should be able to cope in whichever seat they are designated because you never know when your other crew member may not be functioning. This is a CRM recipe for disaster and yet again a classic case of the arse-about management that we live with on a daily basis.
