.BUT then if our dozy FO is first and has chosen the wrong way ...........the scenarios are endless

John

That is why priority should not go to "first in" but to the command that has a higher hierarchy. I. E. If FO press down, and then CMDR press up, you always should select the CMDR and Up.

[John_B]

Ah I hear you

But not too comfy with the idea that CMDR knows best (whether that is RL practice or not) it might not "be aware" of that ufo/Eagle or whatever just above the plane where as the FO just might.
Otherwise we could just leave the humans on the ground (except the PAX and trolley dolly of course )

Wise words john -your right the commander doesn't always know best -
that's why cockpit management was brought in under human factors ,no more rank/hierarchy etc

Yeah a 747 pilot was saying (when I went up to Glasgow for an iFly meet up) now its pilot flying and pilot monitoring....wonder what happened to the days when it was crew getting drunk????????

well, at least on a Boeing its not "plane flying and pilots looking what's happening"... like on airbuses
