Jackdaw,
I couldn't agree more. You should check the figures and use APG. If the FO thinks you're over-reacting the good CRM means you should brief him on what you consider important as Commander, and more importantly, why! I always check the figures (Part 91 - private), and always have done.
JonDyer, of course, that thread was on a slightly different topic to this one. Please don't muddy the waters. Comments there were regarding following the book figures and getting the performance stated. I feel this thread reflects that, and has my full support. As for shooting people down, there is quite clearly a feeling that comments needed to be justified, other than lets "just add it on" and therefore think we are safe because we have done that. If you wish to be involved in the thread, then get involved and try to educate others.
JD, I must say your comments regarding "maintaining standards" are spot on.
