Thinking weakens the team...

As a very senior F/O, (flown in and out of ADQ for 17 years), I flew with a new to ANC Capt who had never once in his life been to ADQ. His Arctic qual took him to OTZ and OME which also checks the box for ADQ. So it's raining and its windy and its going to be a RNP to rwy 36. New Capt flys it as required by our rules. It was the worst landing that I have ever seen. I was way to slow in hindsight as I was reaching for the throttles and calling for a go around just as we touched down, then it got sporty...
Stupid rules certainly reduced the level of safety on that airplane that day. I'm always in favor of letting the crew use all the tools in their tool box. Who should better decide who's leg it is? The butts on the sheep skin or the guy 1500 miles away behind a desk who has not flown the line in 10 years?
