Thank you M. Mouse.

Interesting, isn’t it, how our self appointed expert never replies when challenged?

I too prefer BA SOPs however for the next few months until anno domini catches up with me I can only use my discretion to allow the co-pilot to make as many decisions and carry out my duties to the permitted limit which sadly doesn’t extend to letting him taxy the aircraft. I fail to see in the incident above how whoever was taxying was relevant; the fact is that both pilots mis-identified the intersection.

I seem to remember that a seat change in BA was accomplished in around 12 sectors, with my present mob it is many more.
