Don't you possibly think that there may be fault on both sides? - Perhaps the reason that the CC don't want to mix is that the particular FC are complete t*****S
On longhaul just take a look at the pilots as they get on the bus, they are actively ignored by a majority of the CC.

Although I agree with Dumpvalve's point about the pre-departure anouncements - which seem to be much longer and less friendly than they used to be - I wholeheartedly agree with you about the demise of informative PA from the cockpit.

Just a hypothetical question.
What if both flight deck were incapacitated and a pair of dead heading, type rated, current, P1 qualified pilots from another airline were summoned from business class
to take over.
Woudl the 'In charge' be in charge, in the same way that an observer in the fleet air arm could be the a/c commander?
I know the probability of this happening is about 0.000000001p, but I would be interested to know if SOPs in 'big iron' cover this sort of eventuality.
