I don't have a problem with a LC. What I do have a problem with is how, and under what conditions, the LC is assigned. I also have a problem with the LC being a surprise. I hardly see how giving no notice helps to make one a more safer and proficient pilot. This is why I am curious if other Airlines do or don't assign surprise Line Checks?
As I said earlier I did very well on the LC. This was the opinion of the Check Airman stated to myself and others.

Marsea-
I think most would agree it really doesn't matter if it is a 'surprise' LC or not. I've never studied or prepared for a LC. Just do what you do hunreds of times already. If your companies procedures taught at the schoolhouse are really what people do on the line it really shouldn't matter.
With that said, I can understand the politics concern. Not sure what outfit you are with but I honestly never worried about that at the majors.
