The reason why I brought up the resource management thingie is that management are always trying to find ways to reduce staff. Eg, before there used to be at least two people involved in pushing back aircraft, but now
VB has the one engineer with their remote controlled buggy; and didn't
VB do away with cleaners and got their F/A's to clean the cabins on turn-arounds?
So I'm surprised that for the walkarounds, there are two people doing it.
As an observer looking on, it appears that the pilots also do the walk-arounds because they don't trust the LAMEs to do it?
Is this really the case, or are both required to do it as a part of the airlines' SOPs?
