Absolutely, totally agree with you on that. I'm just saying that it is SOP here not to and you can't go against it.

Sorry for misrepresenting you on the visual approaches. I suppose I'd find that a bit annoying. Unless APP mode is active, I find the FD distracting on a visual.
On a visual approach it is SOP here to switch the F/D's off as well, just to be clear. It's just that we hardly ever do them, they're actually discouraged. I don't agree with that policy.

That is not entirely accurate. I worked in the training dept. part-time at my last airline. The self-study required at EK is nothing, absolutely nothing like the spoon feeding of information that you get in the States.
