Ok RVR reminded me of something. I have heard of Capt. that write down their FO's name and FO's that write down the name of their Capt.'s in their logbook. What purpose does this serve?

help me jog my memory, so be it.
Seriously, studies have shown that writing down things is 1 of the best defense against memory loss. (Probably why most crusty old CA has like 4 pens in his shirt pocket.
