145 SOPs
It seems we are to continue with monitored approaches. Why? Fair enough if you`re flying to LAX with 3 days on the beach and a single sector home again - but us? We fly multi -sector shifts of very short duration, taking turn about, on consecutive days, with cross monitoring and SOPs coming out our ears (hardly time to scratch your arse) - what`s the point? It comes out worst in the SIM - half the time nobody`s sure who`s flying the plane. The SIM instructors agree. I started with an open mind but I now conclude (with experience) its all bollocks. I hope Flybe agree and tell 145 management to bin it immediately.
