A maximum of 10 minutes in the right seat during annual recurrent does not make someone current and qualified if you ask me. If they were truly serious and concerned then they should put two captains together for an entire event to get 2 hours AT THE BARE MINIMUM. But I am not advocating that whatsoever as an end result. Just pointing out that there are better thresholds when it comes to qualified and current. It does need to stop PERIOD!
Besides, pairing two captains together increases the number of FOs paired together so no thanks. I did that once before two summers ago and I did 90% of the work in both seats. Not again!
