Some people would seem to prefer to fly the aeroplane into a smoking hole than get an SOP call wrong.



and those people unfortunately getting more and more and more each day. I don't know why.
Maybe nowadays the aircraft manufacturers make flying too easy. So to keep us busy a lot of airlines implementing talking, talking, talking by (rather often) completely unnecessarily SOP.
Involved in the cockpit working-atmosphere since a couple of years now, the working enviroment inside the cockpits has changed completely.
Nowadays its much more a TALKshow for three (incl the CVR), instead of a just a professional flight management office.
