At SKW CA's are required to do the preflight and post flight workarounds, although it can be delegated to the FO. Also, post flight workarounds from the income crews are mandatory unless the accepting CA waves it. If no accepting CA then it MUST be completed.

Waterskiers have the Pre/Post flight inspections as listed FO duties. It's the only official duty the FO has that isn't dual responsibility with the CA. On the contrary, if you see a TSA CA walking around, it's possible that he's being nice while the FO grabs food, or the more common one, is the guy walking around has lost his command.

Usually if I don't have a quick turn, say 40 minutes or more, I just call Mx Control and tell them to have the Mechanic and tire waiting for us. It's better to just get it swapped before it becomes a problem.

Show me the FAR that says a pilot must do a postflight inspections, I believe its only a preflight required. Company Policy may say otherwise, I know at most Majors postflight is a mx action. As far as walk arounds who ever is the non-flying pilot does the walk around and the other sets up the box.

) Sorry to break it to you but at your new airline, you will be doing post flights. They are required on all terminating flights at stations with no MX. A terminating flight is one which isn't departing til the next day and you are powering down to a single light. If the aircraft is departing later that day, you follow the 2 hour placard*, and leave exterior inspections for the next crew to deal with.
* 2 hour placard: Pull appropriate color coded CBs, turn off all cockpit lights, and dim all CRTs.
