We could do an abbreviated walk-round and ignore the buffeting and stresses of the last sector as a possible cause of making things come loose. Most of us could even arrive on stand with the walk round completed before the engines had stopped. We could ignore every bit of airmanship that we had learned over the last 40 years in the name of profit. I'm not pointing at any particular operator, but to say that it doesn't happen is the ultimate in denial. To say that some pilots, often at home base, are not encouraged to keep the pedal to the metal by ATC till one inch from touchdown is perhaps the penultimate in denial.
There is a very fine line between a good company man - nifty pilot - fine handler of planes.......and a jockey.
