I'm hoping people will give me their thoughts on this...
Suppose the 135 company I fly for dispatches me for a trip for the next day. I file my flight plans, with my name as the PIC. Then (because we're 135) things change; I'll fly tonight, and another Captain will fly my trip tomorrow. Is it a good idea for me to cancel the flight plans I've already submitted? Should I be a nice guy and save the new Captain the job of filing? Then suppose he does something stupid and the FAA wants to know who flew the plane? Would the FAA believe me if I said "I let him use my flight plans but I wasn't there".
Thoughts and ideas.
Thanks.
