As you point out, NOBODY else does this but for some unexplainable reason they consider it safer.
Unbelievable. I actually am going to concur with 757driver. Both of his posts. The iPad is a glorious thing, and everything is right at your fingertips, to be reviewed on the van ride in. Probably should even shorten the 45 minute shows to 30, provided the Capts are willing to do some box work or a walkaround. If you want 30 minute shows in a junior base on a new hire fleet, and intend to just sit there or chat with FAs until the FO has everything ready, good luck.
And why do people care whether it’s looked at in the hotel before pick up, in the van, of after the report window begins? It’s your work to do and just needs to be done. I’ve never flown with anyone who refuses to look at anything until inside of report time....that’s an outlier to be wary of for sure.
