This is the same pilot who's take off technique is to push up the thrust levers, flick the toga switches ( before stable or similar) .... then wait till just before rotate to grab the yoke and pull back.... no forward pressure ( a la autopilot engaged issues) or basic hotas concept....but that apparently is cool to do... this from an FO -( who was an ex 747 captain) I flew with yesterday...who by the way has over 1075 hours in the last 365 days ...so he tells me and when he asked schedulers what the limit was... crewing said " dont worry we will tell you when you have to stop'.... yeah....... right.....

But have to admire HAH for his straight shooting.... dont like it leave attitude... oh forgot that is clause 1.1.1 of the contract anyway...

But we all know that so why reiterate the obvious... as far as manning levels go.. their problem , not ours...so fly what you feel safe doing and leave the management to them...
