Some settings in airplanes are last left. And this is okay. If you had to reset every setting at all times it would cost time. Sometimes you find one that you go "man I wish that wasn't last left." Then software updates fix that. > I am not a pilot, but that's exactly what I thought when I read the memo too. They should be putting responsibility for the next flight on the next flight's crew, not the prior flight's crew. It's not a matter of responsibility, it's a risk mitigation measure. Adding the additional check is common in aviation. Yes, it is the next crew's responsibility, however if you can mitigate a risk by adding some procedure to what the previous crew does, at little or no cost until a software update is released fixing the issue, you do that every time.
