CRM & SOP, sometimes it works, and then again..
Case in point.
In cruise at FL310, the number three engine turbine overheat light illuminates.
Captain looks at it and says nothing.
F/O looks at it and says..."wonder why that happened?"
F/E (expat) reaches up and retards the number three throttle, and mentions ..."anybody interested in the checklist, before the engine actually burns off and falls into the Indian Ocean?"
The Captain and First Officer had just come back from recurrent sim training, where they both ah, passed.
Those who have been there will recognise the respective airline.
