While reviewing the new company mandated SOP's; checklists and flows which have been mandated for introduction; I found unsafe procedures; such as the Thrust Reverser Check page. As a former air carrier Check Airman; my experience tells me this introduction of AOM procedures without proper training is unsafe and goes against all common sense. As an FAA Designee at that carrier; I would have never accepted such confusion of responsibility in the cockpit. There are too many unsatisfactory flows; SOP's; checklist changes to enumerate here. Please provide proper training and rewrite the new AOM procedures to be safe and logical.
While reviewing the new company mandated SOP's; flows; and checklists...I found a dangerous SOP that needs FAA scrutiny. The new SOP requires the left seat pilot to allow the right seat pilot to control the throttles while taxiing when doing the T/R check. This has a great potential for confusion and a possible accident while taxing. Transfer of controls from left to right seat happens on the runway for obvious safety reasons. Previous SOP's the left seat pilot manipulated the throttles and the right seat pilot checked the switches. This allows for a safe seamless positive control of the aircraft. The new revised SOP's and checklist needs to be re-written for a safety standpoint.  If the 'new' SOP's are to be used the crews must be trained in the simulator to insure safety is adhered to. The New Checklist SOP Flows needs to be put off until [next year].
A CE-750 flight crew took vocal exception to their company's introduction of new SOPs and checklists based both on what they perceive to be unacceptable aspects of those documents and the need for simulator training on their use prior to introduction.
