You need to change your name to "clear & loud common sense."
I too am tongue biting hair out-pulling frustrated at spending 1 hour in FFS TQ courses doing full cockpit set ups and briefings. The guys can't fly the a/c and
are eager to learn; meanwhile they sit on stand learning feckall because the already know how to make the mouth music of briefings and load an FMC from class-room time. AGH! Over the sessions of FFS 4 hours = 1 session is lost to this less important task.
