Lord S: You're probably right but I thought I'd try anyway.
Hotel C: Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Seriously, half you guys don't bother to read a question do you.
It's like on the TV shows where the lawyer is arguing in court. He has a better chance of winning the court case if he can refer to a precedent or an article of law. So it is when dealing with other pilot colleagues, if you can back up your point of view with an existing SOP it makes it easier to refute an opposing point of view.
I am not lacking in common sense and I am not unaware of the various arguments for and against. I am aware of my prerogative as PIC to make decisions. However I run an inclusive cockpit and am team focused. I like to explore minor issues to the fullest extent. I enjoy this stuff! I'm not stressed out about this, I'm actually loving it.
So just chill out you guys.
Once again, if anyone can contribute as per my original post, I'm keen to read it.
