Believe it or not, I enjoy doing the walk around, buying the beer, and buying the coffee for my FO. At first I thought I was doing something nice for them but I’ve come to realize that I’m doing something good for both of us.

It is non-standard and not approved, but, one pilot does the outside, the other does the inside, works well when we have all the extra tools available to us to help the Flight Attendants plan their side of the flight. Plenty of time in the final 30 minutes of boarding to brief, cross-check and verify.
Just saying.
Just saying.
The 737 freaking drove me nuts. I was the autocomplete FO... sometimes the CA did the panel prep, sometimes they just didn't. You never really knew what you were getting. I've had some FOs always do the panel prep on the bus that have come off the 737. That was almost as weird a fleet as the 88, but not quite!

To be fair, I'm not a fan of that at all. Let's keep it straight forward and standard. PM does the panel prep (and the outside should the CA choose to do it as well... I think it is highly appropriate) and then verifies the box. PF loads the box. Simple. Easy. Right by the book. No one has to cast an extra thought as to what the other is doing.

Now I’d be lying if I didn’t mention they come in from the walk around while I’m still banging away on the FMS and they ask “did you make the noises?” I politely say “no” and keep on FMS’ing...Capt gets seated and starts setting the panel.

The best is when you see a few random things done on the overhead but not other obvious things so you start to do stuff and they say "I got the noise makers" when you know they didn't get them all etc.
And why are we still trying to collectively figure out that 100% of flights in the history of aviation need water and a trash bag?

Embraer figured it out in 1997 with the 135/140/145. There’s an integrated trash bin on each side of the cockpit....but we still used a grey trash bag....
