You think the caliber of pilots that Delta is hiring as FO’s has fallen so precipitously that they can’t be trusted to fulfill the most basic of duties that the FOM dictates is their responsibility. Since a “high tech, high speed tactical fighter guy” is incapable of accomplishing the most menial task without “mentorship”, I’m gonna have a very lucrative career when I submit my claim to Concur payroll for my “LCA” gig that you seem to think falls on every captains shoulders.

I’ll just cut and paste your logic into my reimbursement form.....yea, that’s the ticket.....how could they possibly deny it?

I will now state it for the 3rd time...the capt is ultimately responsible.....I just wish that somehow you could see that possibly, just possibly, the FO had some culpability

If he doesn’t then I expect to see you waltzing hand in hand (or arm in arm if that’s your style) with your next FO doing the walk-around cause he needs your mentoring. That 717 looks nothing like a high tech fighter(if you have never accompanied him on the walk around how do you know he was trained properly)....BTW ... make sure you wear your “speed jeans”

Most on here don’t care for my “humor” or lack there-of. Essentially, I think they both had culpability ....AND....the captain bears all the responsibility. You are welcome to your different opinion

BTW...anybody who has “earned their wings”, or has any experience (15000 min) knows that detailed write ups are the essence of any trouble shooting.....bet he doesn’t take his car to the dealer for repairs and just says, “it’s not working quite right....call me when it’s fixed”!
