All good stuff and a world away from the old days when the Cap might just occasionally "grant" a co-pilot a t/o or landing.
Having said that the Skip should still be the one to ask the "Which way do you want to fly it?" question .In my years in the RHS I never presumed to ask this question and it slightly annoys me now when the F/O asks me.Although it is normal practice to fly leg about it is still a concession granted by the Skipper even if it does usually go without saying. No I'm not some old dinosaur and am always happy to fly "leg about" but if the F/O screws it up it's still me who is in the poo.(I by default was negligent in not recovering the situation or by allowing the f/o to fly outside his limits )
