Well elsewhere on this site I have read someone claim that the FIRST LESSON, day one on their MCC course was the instruction that there is "no Captain or First Officer anymore!
Only Handling Pilot and Non-Handling Pilot exists these days."
If this is true then there is your answer. Inexperienced pilots actively being encouraged to behave like this. F/O's with a few hundred hours trying to be the Captain and stepping on his toes. In my mind this is compromising the safety of the operation and whoever is teaching this needs to understand the problem they are creating. There still has to be an authority gradient.
Dare I ask... Even as a firm believer in CRM maybe it has gone too far?????
