Gee I will have to watch what I say in future my picky since you want to start reading between the lines. As someone who works from the RHS of a 70 odd ton jet I can assure you that I am fully aware that the PM gets awfully busy at times, especially during an OPC as I had a few weeks back. Anyway the point being that sitting in the RHS as the non handling pilot can be a great learning tool and should not be dismissed.
