Completely agree with Sabenaboy
It is stunning that we continue to see (mostly young) pilots who think that SOP's are more important to flight safety than decent stick-and rudder.
Makes me even more convinced that if it ain't with a Belgian I ain't goin'
(just a joke, but I do want to see a good standard in the cockpit, not merely button pushers )
Although I don't pull CB's "just for fun" and would NOT appreciate it when a jumpseater pulled that one on me...The operating crew should get some flight-training and the jumpseater his/hers rights removed.
