<grin> Yes, I would agree with that. I see your point but submit the following:

If the Captain has to say, "right rudder right rudder right rudder" -- then the F/O has no business being in the airplane.

Here is my acid test for pilots. If you can't put the airplane on the centerline and in the touchdown zone EVERY single time -- then you probably lack the experience to be sitting in the seat.

I am basing this assertion on 13 years of flying professionally for a handful of 121 carriers -- Those pilots who challenge themselves to land on the centerline and in the touchdown zone generally handle the rest of their job with equal professionalism and attention to detail.

Those that don't... might need a little more dual.
