An even better airmanship lesson these days, (i.e. in the 21st century), would be to check and if necessary, update your company EFB before going to work !!
I am sure most of us switch the thing on while eating our cornflakes - if only to have a look at the weather for the day ahead ?
And/or arrive 20 mins early for report time so that updates and other admin buggeration factors can be allowed for and not delay the flight
Not that long ago, a supposedly experienced Captain, who arrived late, kept us waiting in the crew room well after we should have been on the flight deck, while his woefully out of date EFB slowly updated on the crew room Wi-Fi.
I was not impressed.
