Maybe none of those are true. But in my experience, at least one of them is always true.

I will say the 3-4 captains I’ve ever had that don’t do walk-arounds, they were also consistently a little.. different. From my small sample size there’s a trend. 😅

No thanks. I'll do my own. I don't print out the rotation and Micrew is a piece of sht and takes forever to load. You know what is the fastest? Everyone writes the name they have memorized since birth and their own employee number

this is fleet specific. On the 320 the logbook is the Captain’s deal.

When I was at UPS on the domestic 75/76 the captain did 99% of the total walk-arounds. On the 73N, 99% of the captains do the walk-around when they are the pilot monitoring.

This reminds me of how great things were just before COVID when we resorted to arguing about flight attendant uniforms.

Things are going well apparently

As was I, never saw an issue with it. Get over there first, sign us in throw the key to the Captain and get on our way to our rooms before the FAs spend 5 minutes trying to change their room and get the higher floor or some other bs that doesn't matter. Now I'm more of a first person there type.

If I get my bag first and roll right away, I'll have us all signed in before the other pilot even get to the desk. This reminds me of the person who recently got upset because I held the door for them lol.
