I trust him/her to do the job they were trained to do. So I don’t helicopter parent while they type in the ACARS sitting at the gate. Last I checked the FCOM did t say cross Check and verify administrative tasks with engines shut down at the gate. So I do other CA stuff. Like shutting down the APU after the rampers take 15 minutes to supply ground power. So while the FO is in the box I’m on the ops frequency asking for ground power.

I brought it up a couple of times that the ACARS doesn't seem to accurately capture the information all the time, but it ultimately fell on deaf ears.

Exactly. Maybe once the VIL awards are published it's too late; but if you're close on currency, it's not a bad idea to email them and check your eligiblity before the bid closes.

I wouldnt be to quick to blame the fo's. Several times I would get landing currency emails. When I knew for a fact that I had entered the landings into ACARS.

I should have said ACARS is the tip of the spear. And the assumed method. Without me having to do actual work and all. Having a job is interfering with my lifestyle…
