Are these things uptight? Yes. Are they standard? No.
After 5,000 hours I can understand you thinking it’s SOP. You don’t get to see how different things are done on a day to day basis from the left seat. It’s standardized deviance. Things I used to notice (because they are not done standard) just slide by now that I have 2,000 hours on it. Are these things unsafe? Not really. Maybe I’m use to a more standard cockpit, but it’s not SOP.
All these things got bunged up during the transition to trigger and flow. I would say we were highly standardized prior. Half the guys I fly with now are still struggling? with standardization as it relates to certain aspects of the trigger and flow.
