Commonsense says each situation needs judging on merit. With experienced people the practice is frequently different from the written procedures
Eg, It used to take 3 people to fit a phantom seat pan, 2 to lift it in , 1 to do the job, 1 NCO to supervise and do vitals and a Sneck to do Indies. Frequently you'd have 2 pans to fit at the same time so the JT would do one and the Cpl the other and then check each other's work, the JT signing for both fits and the Cpl over signing both and the vitals. With an inexperienced JT that couldn't happen and the CPL would properly supervise and do the vitals on each seat.
