BYMONEK, that's understood and thanks for that, well said. Last word is that I simply questioned the benefit to the individual. If you take pride in CDAs then do it. Personally I get no pride or satisfaction from them but mabe thats just me. That said, I do them when operationally feasible as per the OM-A which "encourages" them. Maybe I've just seen too many FOs try to get it just right and get behind the plane and I'd rather stay out of the office if at all possible. Fly safe fellas.
