Only one instructor told us that you can't use CRM. His idea was quickly shot down by the multiple check airmen that followed as the training is for FOs, not captains. "This is an FO check for pilots that are trying to learn CRM, thus, use the PM!"

The first limitation of this aircraft: Pilots: 2 Required.

The check airman for my FOPC was the type that stood two stories tall, walked on water, made tall buildings get out of his way, and you knew he regularly dictated policy to God, yet he made the callouts I requested, specifically the fix plus .2 DME calls on the non-precision approaches. All of the check airmen so far, even the ones considered to be tougher than the others, have been utmost professionals. I'd hire any of 'em in a second if they were to apply and I were hiring instructors again.
