It wasn't too long ago guys were complaining about wearing hats; now you complain about checklists. I wear that stupid hat, I do the checklist. It doesn't matter how stupid I think it is, I do it. Years ago when UAL tried to harmonize the check list across fleets, the checklists were really stupid. If you don't like the checklist, become a PI and spend the day arguing about why you think they should change the checklist. In the meantime, just do the check list and talk about more important things like the Profit Sharing Grievance we won and when the lUAL guys are gonna get a financial settlement.
