Why don't we just ask a question if there is a doubt? Any of CX's fleet can be flown with just one pilot, no problem, so the other guy is just there to ask a question when something doesn't look right. If everything looks right, keep your trap shut. Too much chatter introduces more problems than it supposedly solves. How on Earth do single-pilot aircraft manage to fly around, day-to-day, with a pretty good safety record, while multi-pilot aircraft (AF447 for example or the CX flight which did a go-around in HKG while NOT on autopilot while four pilots watched it almost stall as it flew itself from 500 feet to over 6000 feet over Lantau Island) have lots of incidents too?
Strobes on? Who doesn't know that we normally turn on the strobes (and we should actually turn on all exterior lights, INCLUDING wing lights (oh, who has ever seen THEM turned on?) while crossing a runway?
Finished with the forward lights? What other f'in lights are you possibly finished with????
Fully ready? No, only partially. I'll call you back when fully ready.
On finals? Which one? Both?
Ugh.
