Poles and Ladders are a FO problem anyway. The view from the Left Seat is probably better.
I fly the MD-88 and there were some changes to the inspection process. But admittedly with all of the changes we've had, I'm not exactly sure what they are.
The MEL says you must perform a visual and physical (hands on) inspection of the wing upper surface. The MEL was changed on 11/2007.
However, the new procedures in the Volume 1. dated 10/2009 says that the cabin windows can be used during the preflight to visually inspect the upper wing surface for frost or ice.
So which is it? Anyone have any idea?
