In normal conditions : The Capt.must strictly follow the SOPs
In Emergency:I mean unforesseenable ones.The Capt. can deviate from the SOPs BUT will have to justify afterwords.
Conclusion 1 : If everything goes well a stupid desk pilot or manager will prove that he would have done better.
Conclusion 2 : If things go wrong but the unhappy pilot survives , he will be prosecuted , etc.
FINAL CONCLUSION : The PIC is the stupid idiot the company pays in order to blame and this way hide company`s or authoritie`s incompetence when something goes wrong.
