In 16 years at Delta, this is the first time I've ever heard it's required. Not saying it isn't, but you got some source material to back that assertion up?

We do. If you interview here please feel free to let them know your opinion on the subject.

Gee... Let me check my FOMs, COMs, CAMs collection going back some 37 years... Hmmm... U.S.? Nope... Asia? Nope... Euroland? Nope... Central and South America? Nope. "Required" not in any of them FTF.

In any of your's FTF? If so, can you cite your airline, company's chapter, section, and page?

Hahahaha... No. I think YOU do.

After ten years of jumpseating on every mainline and major carrier in the US, including at least 25 trips on United, never, NEVER, have I heard so seen anyone even begin to debrief. The only time I've seen a debrief is a line check, or after one of my routinely bad landings.

Seriously, "we do"??
United folk out there, do you debrief after every flight like FTF suggests?
FTF, if you do, I promise you everyone knows your name in the crewroom, and it's not because how hotsh!t your landings are...

Point of order - FTF said he's at UAL.

I don't even care if its a LCA, Mr. TOTD Jumpseater needs to zip it and keep his comments to himself until after the shutdown checklist. Do not be harassing me or my copilot and interfering with the working crew during a critical phase of flight, which includes taxi in.
