If you can’t get your required duties completed in the time between report and push, then I guess get there earlier. Don’t expect other people to get there earlier than necessary however. I have never met a line pilot who could not get their required duties completed on time outside of possibly day 1 of OE. Reviewing the maintenance log isn’t that time consuming of a process.

Personally, at home base I like to get there early and perform preflight duties in a leisurely fashion. However, I don't expect the F/O or the F/As to get there prior to report time.
At an outstation, I show up a few minutes early to make sure the whole crew is assembled and ready to proceed to the airport at report time.

That doesn’t even make sense.

The not making sense was in to your reference to various generations. If you want to show up early fine, but do your FOs truly believe that they can show up later? Since you’re setting the example.

Big difference Skypilots1984 in our perspectives regarding F.Os. IMO F/Os aren’t F/Os. They are Captains in training, and treated as such.

Those FO’s you’re talking about are the ones waiting to upgrade. The ones that washed out of upgrade multiple times and are stuck in the right seat. Also, the ones that choose to stay as an FO and never plan on upgrading. Those FO’s are no longer consider “Captain in training” are they?
