I've got nothing in a twist at all but TBF you yourself did say you weren't sure about SEP for pilots but then nevertheless went on to make a definitive statement re. pilots, i.e. "Their SEP training is abbreviated and refreshed infrequently". I was merely pointing out that certainly in the context of BA (subject of this thread) that statement was inaccurate.

But if BA pilots know the cabin/passenger emergency drills and shout commands (the most cabin crew specific SEP training) then genuine kudos to BA for training their pilots to that level
FWIW they do, commands covered/checked/shouted in the annual check on door drills and also in some of the CRM exercises done jointly with the cabin crew during SEP checking/revalidation.

That said I have no idea of the FCOM/Ops manual requirement for Minimum crew on BA's Airbuses, so back to the thread.........
