I had one guy tell me at the beginning of the trip that he will get half the walkarounds and I could get the other half. He then said, I did them for the first half of my career, you can get them for the second half. He never did one the whole trip.


Personally I don't care if the captain does it or not since I like to stretch my legs. Just thought that was interesting.

On my last trip I was in the FOM four times before we pushed back solving problems. My FO remarked that walk arounds were easy after watching me work. I do buy beers.

Just finding anything in the FOM is a workout

Pretty sure it's proven that the more a person sits, the earlier they are likely to...umm...expire. I encourage all the As to keep their seat while I do the walk-around :-)

When did this CA walk-around thing start?

Got this international SOS card with my ER training package (at least that's where I think I got it, I really am not sure now). Throw it out or is it somewhat useful? I've already got a Castanza wallet, I don't need another worthless card.

A Delta Airlines Airbus A320-200, registration N333NW performing flight DL-2845 from Minneapolis,MN to Rapid City Regional Airport,SD (USA) with 130 passengers, was on approach to Rapid City Regional Airport's [ICAO: KRAP] runway 14 but aligned with Rapid City's Ellsworth Air Force Base's runway 13 and landed safely on the runway of the Air Force Base.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 2.5 hours, then performed the short hop of about 6nm from Ellsworth [KRCA] to Regional Airport.

The NTSB announced they are investigating the occurrence, when the A320 landed at Ellsworth AFB instead of Rapid City Regional Airport.

The airline confirmed their aircraft mistakenly landed at Ellsworth Air Force Base. The aircraft later positioned to Regional Airport arriving there with a delay of 3:10 hours. The crew has been suspended pending internal investigation by Delta and pending investigation by NTSB.

Download the app, then register with the number on the card. That program gets you emergency medical assistance when overseas.

I almost threw mine away too until my first TOE LCA clued me in.
