Let's not forget there was a management suggestion a few months ago that crews no longer do a DG inspection because it's not a hard FAA requirement that the pilots inspect ADG
Hmmmm --- I'm thinking that's still a smart use of 2 mins of FO time
Especially, since the pilots are the only ones at physical risk when the DG decides to act Dangerously in flight
