Probably a stupid question... wing inspection lights

[Co737drvr]

At CAL,

After start includes pitot heat, anti ice, annuciator recall, autobrakes, flaps, flight controls and cockpit door.

No taxi check.

Before takeoff includes autothrottles, verification of flap setting, verifcation of takeoff config & transponder.

Some Brasilia pilots at Skywest taxi around with the darned inspection lights on... even during the day!! Then they burn out and ground the aircraft. We can't fly in icing conditions at night with even one burned out inspection light. I use them for takeoff at night, but taxiing around with the darn things on is taking it a little too far... in my opinion. While on the subject of lights, I always crack up when I see a 747 taxiing around during the day with their taxi light on. "HOLY CRAP!!! I would have never seen that 747 in my way if that guy didn't have his taxi light on!"

Hey ,SKYW... while we're on the subject, did you know that sound travels farther on a cold day?

Awright, so the SPEED of sound is higher in warmer air.

But the SOUND of sound is louder in colder air! Prove me wrong!

You win, my A$$!!!
