Instead, "it flew in here, it will fly out" serves operators of the type well. If it remained on the pavement, or only went slightly off the pavement without damaging airport infrastructure (or if no one saw it, or can't prove who was flying it ) then it's good to go.
Training should be limited to "good luck and God speed."
Just be glad you aren't the Mechanic who has to keep track of all the Special Airworthiness Bulletins, Emergency Directives, Service Difficulty Reports, Maintenance Change Items and engineering revisions.

Yeah, ummm, if you could come in over the Fourth of July, yeah we're going to need an, um, inverse assignment, yeah, that would be great, 05:35 sign in, a 9 hour overnight while fireworks explode over your hotel followed by a couple of red eyes ....

I wonder; why do they bother training that airplane? Nothing works quite like it is supposed to, so why learn what it is supposed to do? It only results in disappointment and cognitive dissonance over whether what you observe the LCA ignoring on IOE is really a maintenance write up, or not.

in their world everything works. if it doesn't then it must be the Sim. which of course was built by CAE. so let's learn all there is to know about the E/E compartment or the louvers in the tail or the freaking NACA air inlet that cools the brakes which is not only not on the walk around slides but not freaking in any freaking book. but oh no, let's talk about it and the door access panel first flight of the day check...

yes all true but what then would the DGS guys get to ask you about on the walk around slides?

No. Not happening crew scheduling. In fact......I'm gonna have to ask you to just leave and go away. Maybe some other time. I've got a meeting with BABs in a few minutes. Barbecue & Beer.

J29 to your earlier questions about how calling in sick is not legit, think about this, flying is better than sex, right? So would you ever call in sick for sex? No. Therefore, there is never a time when a sick call to work is legit.
