Chesty, I don't understand your question, sorry. How can you take my statement about adequate time at controls, and apply that to a totally unrelated story about an FO who doesn't understand the concept of "chain of command"????
Being at controls and being in command are two completely different things, surely you understand that?! I'm gonna assume you didn't take time to read my post properly..
Guppy: delegating your FO's training and recency to the "training department"? Do you really work in GA?
