What Does the SOP say?
What does the SOP or Ops manual say.
The NJME policy was that the NF pilot was required to do the walkaround and the FP the cockpit setup. There was no requirement for the captain to do both.
How can the Captain of the day be held responsible for the actions of the action required by SOP of another captain.
The Captain responsible for "everything" harks back to the days when the Captain was king and the guy in the right seat just shut up and operated the radio.....no?
My tuppunce worth!
