The only time that our books dictate that we do a post flight inspection is when we are at a non-maintenance station and another crew will not be picking the jet up for at least two hrs.
In ATL there will always be another crew or maintenance personnel that will check the aircraft. We do not do post flight during the course of a normal day since the next crew is generally waiting for us to get off the jet.
