When I was on the Mad Dog, if I was going international, or even a long domestic trip, I always brought reading material, or DVD's. If, by the end of the trip, we had all finished reading said material, I left it on the jet. However, don't TELL me it's my responsibility to do that. If you want something to read, bring it your damn self!
I think the point was that it's nice to see the local paper when you're stuck out in the outer planets for a few days. I don't think he meant any disrespect, 11 days and 6 revisions can break your polite writing skills.
It also seems that bringing the ADN to Asia for the next crew is a bit of an ANC tradition. Most guys make sure to do it. It's kind of like your cookie deal in MEM.

My point about the reading material was that it's ok to expect those before you to provide for you, however, it's not ok to chastise someone for not doing that. Besides, is there anywhere we now fly where a computer is not available, so that if you really care about what's going on back here, you could easily log on and click away to your hearts content. Even in places like Seoul and Osaka, where you're limited to one half hour (free computer time) per visit, you can still expense additional computer time, can't you?

And speaking of Aircraft Operation Manuals as well as Flight Operation Manuals, I hope everyone is shredding their old manuals. Either that or bringing them back into the AOC for disposal. No reason to just put them in the trash as you never know who looks through that stuff.

Very surprising indeed as I didn't think there was any market at all for all those old B-727 and Airbus Aircraft Operation Manuals.

JJ, sorry if I offended you with my sense of entitlement. I did not mean to chastise anyone, and yes I bring my own reading material with me.
I leave a paper everytime when leaving ANC, South or West. We picked up 4 planes that arrived direct from ANC and all were empty.
All im saying is it would be nice.
