B757-200 FIRST OFFICER IS CONCERNED ABOUT ACR'S FAILURE TO REQUIRE A ROUTE CHECK FOR FLT CREW INTO SLLP; A VERY HIGH ALTITUDE ARPT.

Narrative

FLT INTO LPB. CAPT ADVISED ME HE HAD NOT BEEN TO LPB 'IN A WHILE.' LAST YR I PROBABLY FLEW IT 15 TIMES. TURNS OUT; HE HAD NOT BEEN THERE IS 7 YRS. HE SAID 'IT CAN'T BE THAT HARD.' ABOVE AVERAGE CAPT. HE FLEW LEG TO LA PAZ. I HAD THIRD BREAK. PAX IN THE FORWARD LAVATORY FOR 10 MINS; SO I GOT TO COCKPIT LATER THAN USUAL. SUFFICE IT TO SAY; WE WERE VERY HIGH AND VERY FAST. NEW ARCING APCH; 8 DME ARC; THINGS COME A LOT QUICKER THAN THEY USED TO! HAD I BEEN A CHK AIRMAN EVALUATING OUR FLT; I WOULD NOT QUALIFY THAT CREW. I DON'T WANT TO GO TOO DEEP INTO THE MESS WE MADE OF THE ARR. THERE WERE NUMEROUS SERIOUS ISSUES. WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF THE RELIEF PLT AND FO; AND THE FACT THAT THE CAPT IS AN ABOVE AVERAGE PLT; WE 'SAVED' THE ARR WITH SOME 'CREATIVITY.' NO FARS WERE VIOLATED. I WILL BE AS CLR AS I CAN: IT IS UNSAFE TO SEND A PLT DOWN THERE WITHOUT SEEING IT FIRST WITH A CHK AIRMAN. IN MY OPINION; IT IS AN UNSAFE POP. GUESS WHO THE 'CHK AIRMEN' WERE ON THAT FLT? THE TWO FO'S AGAIN. I THINK THAT SENDING A PLT TO LPB WITHOUT SEEING IT FIRST WITH A CHK AIRMAN IS UNSAFE. THE CAPT IS ABOVE AVERAGE AND THOUGHT HE COULD HANDLE IT -- 'IT CAN'T BE THAT BAD.' HE WAS WRONG! IF A GOOD PLT AND 2 COMPETENT FO'S CAN CLOWN IT UP THE WAY WE DID; SO CAN OTHERS. HAVE I BEEN CLR ENOUGH?!
