My prediction is that ASAP's will also drive the change back to a more silent cockpit. Constant chatter has been tried before and it leads to the "boy who cried wolf" syndrome whereby important callouts highlighting the non-normal are lost in a sea of normal callouts.
No matter how well intentioned, procedures and callouts need to be streamlined to make compliance achievable. If they are so numerous that even pilots who want to comply can't get it all correct, it can lead to people throwing up their hands in frustration and stop even trying to comply.
If the average line pilot can't get the procedures and callouts correct on a line check, it's probably not the fault of the line pilot.

Just airline apps for me. Over the summer I was in requal and stopped in to give a couple buddies a good word and was booted by the gate keeper. Stated that "we no longer do that". It's a different world out there!

I agree with you. It's constant blah blah blah in the cockpit now. It's numbing. The PM was always expected to be following along with the PF anyway. It was just done in a much more subtle way. As a former mil instructor pilot, my goal was to know exactly what the other guy was doing but not be in his face and I definitely didn't expect him to ask permission before doing his job. Some things yes, but I think we've crossed the line into numerous extraneous exchanges.

The Navy SEAL that killed Bin Laden documentary last night was effing riveting.
When MSNBC gets rid of Sharpton. Give me a call.

If it weren't for Fixed News there wouldn't be much factual content in the media. I don't agree, or watch, a lot of what they air....but they're spot on with many reports that the alphabet networks have no inclination to pursue. The Obamacare guy is a condescending elitist. Are you "stupid?" I don't think I am.

We've gone from being told that the US was being eradicated by a deadly virus to not hearing a peep about it, within 2-3 weeks.
After this ebola crap, I think it should be clear to everyone by now that ALL of our news sources in the US are absolute crap. Fox included.
Each and every one of them should issue apologies for their irresponsible reporting (and being the cause of our Delta stock --if you still have it-- taking a $10 hit within a week.)
None of them deserve anyone's defense, because they all suck.
That's right. I said it.
