If required to call when i land I'll call on 2. Like DFW or LAX.

Every airline I've worked for uses com 1 for everything. Why do you need to monitor ground when you're on the ramp? If you need to call ops while taxing (LGA) the fo just calls on 2 and captain handles ground.
I've flown with FOs who just switch to #2 without telling me when approaching the ramp and I have no clue what's going as I'm busy taxiing. At least tell the other guy if you're going to be switching coms. Mostly eagle flows as I guess that's what they do there. Those guys typically end up calling ramp on guard as well.

What if, while we are approaching the alley ground control tells us to give way to an EMB that's taxiing way too fast on Alpha because the early 30s captain is rushing to the gate to send his Snapchats? But I already switched off of ground? That's why I keep ground in until I'm completely off the taxiways.
Me and saabs are saying the same thing. Talk on 2 when you need to listen to both. However, once you roll onto the ramp is where the difference occurs. LUS stayed on 1. Really not a big deal. Just semantics.

The wife is always trying to get me to join Snapchat. Is it not worth it?

I'm so tired of your attitude.
FACT: USAir was DONE! You had nothing. LAA was in fact Way more than Superior to you.
So now I will put I am superior to you in every thread every response to you.
