Whats your routine when you FIRST get to work

Well its depends on where you class me starting my job.....

Arriving at the airport:
Park in the staff car park
Get the bus to the south terminal
Go through staff security
Walk through the terminal, via a departure gate to our company office
In the office turn on the lights
Login to the computers
Print out all the flight plans, weather, NOTAMS, defects, pax numbers etc
Collect the airport plates for the day (basically maps of how to arrive/depart from each airport)
Captain will arrive at somepoint when we will discuss everything and decide on a fuel load for the first flight
Once paperwork is done we'll go next door and say hi to the rest of the crew
Head out to the aircraft

At the aircraft:
If flying the first flight I'll go up to the cockpit
Power up the aircraft, usually using ground power or starting the APU
Do a security check of the cockpit also checking all the important things are there
Sit down, adjust seat, check behind the pedals and that the oxygen works
Go through all the systems checking and initialising (things like the inertial ref system take around 7 mins to align themselves)
Setup the flight management system
Brief the departure to the other pilot
do the before start checklist
During all this the passengers should have been boarding
Once all checklists are done, paper work finished and pax onboard we'll push back

Congratulations, most boring thread of 2013 so far. The extent to which my mind was numbed by even partially reading some posts is truly astounding. Good work.
