issi,

in your co, given the option of keeping runway on PF or PNF side which do you take?
No rules about who's side the runway should be on. However is it definitely preferable to have the PF on the runway side. We do have guidance on downwind timing, checklist completion, and quite strict support calls (sink, speed, bank angle). I don't mind being PNF on the "blind side" as I don't have to worry about flying: I can watch everything else and growl if it becomes appropriate. If bloggs in the right seat can't line the jet up with the runway without breaking the rules, no big deal, we'll just make it a tad wider next time. Being PF on the blind side is more difficult but still doable.
