CP at my airline has created a form that has to be filled out by a captain at the end of every pairing which has several criteria to evaluate the first officer.

The criteria include appearance, pre/post flight duties, attitude/CRM, flying skills/airmanship etc.

My airline generally has 200 hr wonders sitting with predominantly ex airforce captains in addition to a sizeable expat population as well.

What do you think are the implications good and bad of such a policy. One of the biggest issues affecting our company's flight safety department is the asymmetric authority in the F/D due to the huge disparity in experience and even training backgrounds. A lot of F/Os feel that this will further widen the gap. Being an F/O I concur with this sentiment as any opinion from the F/O is not necessarily dismissed but just added to the footnotes of the decision making process.

Any opinions please.
