Keep in mind the mechanic on the phone in the NOC would actually have to go through the trouble of finding the previous flight number, then the crews' names, then find out where they're based, find out the chief pilot's numbers, then make a phone call about it. I don't see that happening pretty much ever.

Nope. I actually did ask a chief about this once, he said his office has never gotten a call about it, but if they did, they wouldn't care unless they saw your name coming up time after time.

It takes two seconds to put the fluids in the logbook. I don't get a free pass for things I miss on my 4am walk around, why should somebody get a free pass on my certificate because they blocked in at 4am?

What I find much more offensive is when I show up on an am and there's a dead ostrich in an engine, the brake wear indicator pins are indented, or whatever other mechanical issue that would theoretically have been caught on a post flight. Not saying it's happened here obviously, but I've had many former lives in addition to my current life.

I get what you're saying. 🍻 And I'm not arguing against your point of view. Just saying there are other potential consequences. And it's totally ok that you do it your way. Not that you need my signoff. All in all, this is why I often check if I didn't see the FO put it in the book. I'm not trying to be a control freak, I'm just trying to keep us on the right path.

I always do the paper log and the post flight report, unless the captain says “you run, I’ll get everything else.” That’s a nice thing a lot of captains do at the end of a pairing. I really appreciate it.
