I feel that some of you are missing the point, flying is the easy bit!! imho it's a prerequesite, not a luxury, most of the skippers I fly with will cheerfully admit that several of the fo's "handle" the aircraft better than they can. However I would suggest that most of them are far better at seeing the "big" picture.
It's a team effort guys not a competition.
On the other hand, if LHS is going to say "I have" every time the engine fails, that's great 'cos my base checks will be much easier in future. In fact I might mention it to our management who will be thrilled at the amount of simulator time this'll save.........
