Division of duties on an airliner

On large commercial airliners with required two-person crews, how are
duties usually divided between the captain and the first officer? Are
there specific rules, or are there simply standard conventions, or
does it vary by airline/pilot, or what? Who flies the airplane at
which time, and what does the non-flying pilot do during those times?

Here is a good video on crew duties in a three man cockpit.

*Slap* Get a hold of yourself! Learn some real cockpit management from
these two crews:

It would be better if someone answers the question rather than telling the
guy to go find the answer somewhere else. I'm sure there must be some
airline pilots here. I am curious as well. (for example, when does the
co-pilot practice the first 747 landing?)

If ANYONE besides him had asked, they would have. He has alienated about
everyone. Did you notice how he argued with someone who did answer, that
was a pilot in the heavy metal?

That should be your answer.

His welcome is worn out. He has a better chance of getting an answer from a
dogcatcher.

I don't think anyone here has an answer, but I figured it wouldn't
hurt to try. I'm still waiting.

Sure we do. There are lots of heavy-metal pilots here with the answer,
but none of us that are willing to give it to you.

Why?

Because you'll *argue* with the answer, no matter how correct it is.
Sorry, but you've worn our your welcome here. Go to airliners.net;
you'd fit right in there.

You gave one?

With him, damned if you do, damn if you don't.

I guess I would rather don't.

You might want to consider the same. He will not believe what you say, so
why bother?

And he wonders why he will not get answers.

Get on with it MX. Go bother someone else. Nobody is going to play your
game, now.

Monty Python's.... "Argument Clinic"

This very sketch was just on our local PBS station this past weekend.

I laughed (again).

video clip of it:
