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 that stuff, 100% of it, is in the operating manual, down to the smallest detail. Did you study it before posting clueless statements on this forum?
Stop digging yourself a bigger hole, dude. You have ZERO credibility. You have absolutely no clue about 737 SOPs, but that’s exactly what they are - SOPs. You just challenge them because they are not the way YOU like to operate, as proven by your general anti 737 and anti LAA comments in the past. Do us all a favor and stick to your Airbus, I’m sure that fleet can benefit from your extensive knowledge base.
