What it would appear here is that we have a few European pilots, whom are so enmeshed in their SOP's, that they then cannot think for themselves, let alone comprehend what other pilots, in other airlines, in other parts of the world, have been doing for years, and all quite safely, in full compliance with
their specific airlines SOP's....simply because the European folks are perhaps far too narrow minded to understand.
Gosh, why am I not surprised?
