Are SOP's that pedantic that good airmanship is no longer a desired factor in flying airliners - but strict adherence to the book is?
At some airlines, what we might call basic airmanship is thrown out the window, in some cases.
Yes, I switch OFF the landing lights in cloud, and if the clouds extend down to minimums during the approach/landing phase, they are turned on when needed.

Also, it might surprise some to know that the original poster is not what you might call a johnnie-come-lately, unlike some of the 'Dudes' that have previously replied...
