Re: [OM] Titanic, was More from the Airport

Do you perhaps mean " everybody on the flight deck is fully trained to fly
the airplane blindfolded from either seat "?

Ability to put the training into practice is another matter, which is
precisely the human factors aspect of the task.

I emphasise, this is in the abstract, not a comment on actual events.

Most likely, but not an issue. On the long trans-atlantic flights like that,
it is not unusual to have two crews, with the primary captain taking the
final shift. Doesn't matter, since everybody on the flight deck is fully
capable of flying the airplane blindfolded from either seat.
