If it's in the FM you're expected to know it. Maybe not verbatim, but at least the broad strokes. "GLS in use? Lets review that real quick." You're the guy that would look right and say "what the hell is that and how do we do it?" Being the Captain means being in command of and having a full understanding of your vessel. Diverting because you're lazy isn't the right answer. The Captain whose book knowledge exceeds mine are the ones I respect and emulate. Guys with attitudes like yours are the ones I know I have to baby sit. I'd love, LOVE to hear that conversation after you have your FO or an IP replaced because of their "unrealistic line oriented" view.
