Interesting points
Page 2 discussed, I'll add.
Who remembers Sully's FO?
Who was DeCrispy (QF380) FO,SFO, Check Captain?
and on it goes.....
All I'm saying is it's the Captain in command. There is PF, PNF but even when PNF the Capt is still in command.
Problem now is the new generation pilot thinks they deserve a command when they hit minimum hours. LCC has bred this and yes it still happens, not as bad as a few years ago.
What I've got 3000 hours so where's my command? The sense of entitlement???
Anyway leg for leg I see no problem, when the wx turns below FO mins there is no choice who takes off or lands.
I personally like to give FOs more challenging approaches within legal limits, how else does the new breed learn? Certainly not flogging around our back and beyond, on Candain waterways or Midwest USA...
Hnmm that sounded rantish, time for another red!
