Question from an outsider
You guys were kind enough to give me a jumpseat ride home the other day. I always commute on my own airline so it was a little different.
I noticed the both pilots had their hands all over the flight control panel. It seemed like altitude/speed/heading was set by a different person every time. I'm not sure if this was SOP or just a weird crew. It looked very confusing from the jumpseat. Is this normal?
