Capt Turbo,
agree one hundred percent.
I still havent any practical idea why the frogs insist on the SEL light to be off.
All this switchings required to get the light OFF is an avoidable increase in workload, which is in fact not really AIRBUS pilosophy, Because usually they do everything to make Bus flying very easy.
At lot of reputable airlines do not follow this S(tupid) O(perating) P(rocedure) and accept to have the SEL light on. So making radio work easy to the flight deck (for CM2).
Knowing well that their pilots know how to handle the radios under this "condition".
Yes, and you are right with the "helpful" pilot on the left
selecting the frequencies for CM2 as PNF. And immediately with the helpful one they are one step closer to create a confusion
I am NOT a "helpful" pilot (see above) and so sometimes I earn a disapproving glance from the other side. - Well, I have to live with it
