Sciolistes,
Whats wrong with briefing a possible a/b diesengagement?maybe it is company sops?
What happens when you land and the a/b disengage unintentionally?would you rather the other pilot remain quiet?it does happen you know...
You quote:' if a Capt wants to brief some recall items, I quiz him in on the stuff he forgot to mention, otherwise it appears that either he is misdirecting me or he doesn't know.' you may have issues my friend
