cycling the seat belts don't seem to have any effect these days

My apology for contaminating this thread with some rationality. I think, the responsibility increase is meant more along the lines of eliminating the FO's cross wind limits for landings or SO's being able to do the outside checks, etc...
Most other major Airlines do not have these restrictions. If that is the case, that would be a good thing for everyone.

Because all command courses are grinding to a hault. lost 3 trainers and more resigning. Maybe SO's can run the next command course for FO's, I think that is the intent of the motion. Chaos is upstairs even though the propaganda machine says everything is fine.

I know what OPS A says (what exactly do they assess, deck angle, weather?), I'm just pointing out that there are more ISMs that do only start work when the seat belts get turn off for the passengers. Now a TPE flight is a different story, have seen CC work before signs cycled.

Flt Ops are as busy as they have always been. However there is no shortage of little Gobsh!tes who will do anything to get onto the management ladder and start making friends by coming up with their own pet projects. My money is on a a few new Captains wanting to make a name for themselves.
Many of them can barely land with 10kts.

Cxorcist. Are you implying that someone with only 200 hours of 'actual' flying experience can't handle a max ldg wght 777300ER in a 25-38kt gusting crosswind? You sir are of little faith. Personally, I just close my eyes tightly and hang onto the armrests until the end of the controlled crash that usually results (<10kts). I then go and meet my wife and children who i've flown over on BA instead.
