You're correct, 99% of FOs will just cooperate to graduate and once they realize that captain anal wants them to analyze the flight plan before they even get to work, they'll do it...but the whole idea is insane to me and I'm sure most of your FOs are thinking the same thing. (Admittedly I'm DL and maybe it's a UA culture thing, so I'll just drop it 😂 )

Some of these old bid avoid captains (and they are at every airline) need to figure out the pendulum swings both ways nowadays. You can’t act like a jacka$$ to your FO under the guise of “mentoring” and consider it a get out of jail free card, especially if you are using it as a tool to leave negative feedback etc...

Some of us don't need to review things off duty and still be "ahead of the game"....

yeah….an hour and 30 minutes before every flight with 1-2 extra pilots tends to slow things down……

Just so you know. UAL flies with 3 FO and 1 captain on most long haul flights . It's usually one of the FO's, that wants to show how "smart" they are and have morphed into "capt anal" 20 years before they can hold it, that peruses the IPAD flight plan on the crew bus.

Is it only Delta that has a large majority of anal captains? All the Delta FO's are hip and laid back? If you're a di**/anal as a FO, you will probably be a di**/anal captain.

Thanks for your insight, now go back to Delta and quit trolling.

Was in the Caribbean, heading to EWR. On the van, CA pulls up the info. He mentions EWR is doing the whole circle to 29 thing due to the winds. Says we'll have to do all the briefings for that, etc.

Did I mention we were in the Caribbean? And that we're on the van? ETA is still like 4-ish hours away? Good thing he's getting spooled up NOW.

And, as everyone can guess, we weren't doing 29 when we arrived......

But man, good thing he was so ahead of the game.

I bet he's the guy who spends 10 minutes during of the preflight analysing the weather to figure out the landing runway on a transcon.

Did you tell him you were only flying to EWR, not bombing it?

Gear up, get the Newark gate assignment for our arrival in 6 hours. I’m sure it won’t change before then!

You know, there are too many unfilled CA positions to be *****ing about captains who make the grave mistake of talking about work in the van to work. Upgrade and show us how to run the show.
