I see no reason to remove a usable pen to replace with my own unless it’s visibly covered in goobers.

"The captain needs to be paying attention to the push, you need to be paying attention to starting the engines!"
Here's a question, are pilots on the non-song-and-dance WDR fleets having the same amount of "captain not watching push back" issues?
Not only do we have an ostensibly unnoficial techcedure embedded in our fleet culture, but it seems to be to the detriment of PIC attentiveness during push back,
at least to the extent that training and standards is constantly reminding crews to NOT do it during push.
If we're always having to warn crews on the perils of improperly performing an unnofficial procedure, maybe we need to evaluate eliminating said unnoficial procedure.
