Eagerbeaver,
Absolute bollocks. And I HATE these type of guys who go cry at TRE's and/or base captains for every little thing...
And no, I do not have to brief a visual... it is bloody PF's discretion, and we should both be proficient enough to know the aircrafts and company's limitations...if not, stay home.
My God, do you at FR brief anything then?! it is called brief for a reason!!!
