My question is why we still have to check the fuel door? This is my second airline too. Never had an open door either. It's much more common for the push crew to leave the comm door open, which happens way to often.

I thought it was more of a fuel panel Auto xflow inhibit type of thing that or I'm confusing that with something else.

I'll tell you this much, I flew as a captain for many, many years afterward, and I always tried to remember who I DIDN'T want to be like - THOSE guys.
I'm an FO again at a major airline, and I'm having a great time flying with captains who are nothing like Mr. Know-it-all ClickClickBoom. Great people all around, from the instructors, to the check airman, to the line captains.
While he (she?) raises valid points, the manner in which they are presented, with the holier-than-thou, preachy, I've-never-made-a-mistake, condescending attitude, is nearly beyond belief.
Get over yourself, clickclickboom. I mean really. Come on back down to earth with the real mortals.
Holy crap!

Huh,
CRJ SOP Pg 1-7,8
9. Aircraft Preflight
D, 1)a "External Walkaround"
Comes before
Pg 1-1.9 Passenger Boarding
And
1-1.9
11 A. After the aircraft pre-flight responsibilities have been completed, the
captain or first officer notifies the station the flight is ready for passenger
boarding.
Your "time" is best spent complying with the SOP as its written, not your idea of how it should be....the pre/post flight inspection is done before boarding so passengers aren't boarded onto a broken plane and MX has the maximum amount of time to remedy the situation.
This is exactly what I am talking about, F/Os doing what they think is their "interpretation" of the SOP. Nice try though, an alarming number of F/Os have this "interpretation" attitude,
