Show me a CA with an ID outside of the 90,000's who actually flys SOP to the letter and i'll eat my shoes. The amount of mixing of Pincolsaba procedures with REV 3 is stupid. I can count on one hand the CA's that can even do the damn runway position, departure, first fix + HAA briefing correctly. I don't care if you like or don't like the scripted briefings. Company says do it this way then we do it that way.
Let the SOP argument end here. If you aren't flying by the book then you open yourself up to trouble. Right or wrong if the book said cut thrust levers to idle at 100ft AGL no one could fault you if doing so resulted in aircraft damage because you were following SOP.
Now, if what the CA is doing won't get me killed or violated then I am inclined not to care. My job description does not say SOP COP.
