I fly from MAN for a large charter airline. I can assure you that on EVERY flight, no matter how bad the weather is, a walkround is always done. My previous company was the same. I have never been on a line flight in the 3 years I have been line flying, that has not had a walkround performed. I think it is essential, particularly as this is when the loaders tend to crash into the fuselage!!
