Now then, on a three-crew FD, while the Flight Engineer completes the external inspection (and keeps an eye on fuel servicing) the First Officer loads FMS data and checks same,
The Captain then does a quick check, as required.
Now I see it like that, I realise how unjust life was! All those years of having to preflight and load 9 lat and long waypoints into the Carousel IVs, then discover that you'd forgotten to press the Remote button and you'd have to load them again, while a large rotund old Captain caught up on the Daily Telegraph........ now I am a larg(ish) old(ish)
old Captain, and unfortunately I have to share all jobs. No justice in life!
