Local Papers...
 

So just getting back from an 11 day, Typhoon, 6 revision screw job of Asia.

I was wondering if any of my fellow crewmembers ever leave newspapers on board the AC for the next crew who may have not been home in a while.

Is it really so hard to get your FREE copy of the Anchorage daily news/USA today from the front desk and leave it in one of the cubby holes... If you think it is liberal crap, fine dont read it. Just put it in the glove compartment unread.

What a sweet-talker, you are.

Of course, after the trip you briefly described. I guess you should get a pass.:rolleyes:

I leave mine in the cubby hole. But, you'll have to check the airbus cockpits to find it.

I try to leave the newspaper and my copy of Aviation Week when I'm done with it also ... (but just for the record, I would NEVER actually read those documents while I'm flying)

Hey gotta read something while taking care of your physiological need!;)

There's a mental picutre I didn't need!

That's why I bring Playboy.. ;)

The first lesson I got on IOE was to ALWAYS bring an ADN with you when leaving Anchorage for Asia. I do it going domestic as well. For those that do I thank you very much, it offers much needed relief from the SCMS and the IHT.

You don't have a laptop? ;)

MSNBC.com has a podcast during weekdays of NBC News. It's free. Meet the Press on Sundays also.

Sorry to say this, but it's really getting out of hand with this sense of entitlement that the author brings to this thread. Since when is it someones job to plan for and then to provide reading material for the next guys who inherit the jet. Whatever happened to prior planning? 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!

Yer gett'in old JJ........losing your filter........or maybe you are just ****ed you can't do the "Asia" thing any more........in any event.....I always leave at least one US paper in the reading locker for those who come after. It's the little things that seem to count most.....that and not being mean spirited..;)
