Before takeoff checklist? half the guys call for it when we are #1 like the book says, the other half are waiting on takeoff clearance/or lineup and wait clearance.
HUD? Ha, thats all over the map too. Briefings prior to before start checklist? that 50/50. review of performance date? say 35%. Callouts all over the map. In a previous life I was pretty anal about stuff like this and even atc calls but I was in charge of standardization so I had to be, here? I am the gear guy. IDK, I could be a jerkoff FO and try and correct every little thing but at the end of the day it is about getting the job done with a cooperative cockpit environment. If a CPT wants to do stuff his way I am surely not going to ruin a 4 day because of it.
Al is right though, no standardized at all, maybe on paper but where the rubber meets the road? nope
Armyguy, if that really is the case then Al Czervik is absolutely correct.
But I do not run my flight deck that way, at all - I run it the way the book calls for it, per SOPs. That is why I responded the way I did, because I assumed all 737 crews run it the way it says to.
The few times I’ve j/s on our 737s I just didn’t see what you are describing either.. they were all pretty standard.
But if that’s the case, why not send in an ASAP and/or APA safety debrief?
