Your skills will atrophy and you’ll make more mistakes… so review the flows/maneuvers/limits before you fly… that way it’s more lack of doing than thinking. Nothing worse than someone showing up unprepared.
I’m a pool-y waiting for a class date but when someone told me this it really surprised me. I’m currently flying ACMI wide body international and we always rotate the right seat. Keeps people current and keeps training costs down. This is in no way a complaint or me trying to tell the company how to create policy but just an observation. Excited to get started and more then happy to ride the third/fourth seat for the foreseeable future.
