We are operating 40 something 737 NG in Europe, all of those have been picked up within the last ten years. The only one that didnīt do a fly by at arrival were the ones where wx was bad.
I donīt get the problem at all, if the fleet boss wants to come around once more, who the hell is having a problem with that? Maybe the real problem is lying somewhere totally different, more in the company culture region..
Decide yourself.
