Scratch that, instead of most I should have written 'some', as to disregarding SOP's, mmmm we are really going to fall out the sky if the FO speaks to the punters rather than the Capt!
do get a life!
As pointed out afterwards, you disregard even the most basic of SOPs, and where do you stop? How do you decide which SOPs are worth adhering to and which ones can be ignored?
And now be TOTALLY honest with the answer to my next question...
...when you go for an interview for that next job and the inevitable question comes up "Have you ever ignored or disregarded an SOP?" what will you honestly say?
Even if you decide not to move on, when you are next having a line check will you willingly start doing 'welcome aboard PAs' or talking with ground crews... or if your Captain is on a linecheck, do you think he will let you do the same?!!!
Pray do come back and keep us all informed of the outcome!
