They haven't read a FOM since pre 2014. It's likely it was long before that

To not follow the book? Is technique?
Times are not supposed to be in the book unless acars is inop.

Because he or she is stuck in the past!

Because that person is special.

This. The last time I got an airplane that had the OOOI times in the can I spent 5 minutes looking for when ACARS was written up and signed off again.

Maybe I'm a wet blanket.

Probably also spins the altitude selector to zero and puts the squawk to 1200 every time

Hey now, I've cleaned up the MCP before I left the aircraft. Usually it's because I got bored waiting for a gate in LGA.

Yup same thing happened to me a few time.

"Just in case" was the response I got when I asked a very very senior CA. He was special.

I always laugh when I see 1200 in the transponder. Looks like someone took the CRJ for a few trips in the pattern and over to the pancake breakfast...

I just make city pairings up!
