NFO's, bad news men. Soon to be released LSO NATOPS change will require (or maybe just strongly suggest) that the pilot in command be the one that calls the ball. There is a blurb that I will try to find and post here for you. In essence it says that the LSO can tell a lot by the tone of the pilot's voice, and he has more SA than anyone else in the plane about any problems he is having that might affect the approach.
I'll try to find the blurb that has been proposed and get it here for you.
