Some funny replies....
As a TC and former FO who flew with many a skipper in my 9 years as an FO in different airlines, it’s my view that FO’s should expect a new CP to be thorough, not flaunt the rules and be able to run the show as he or she has been trained with the understanding and support of the FO....it’s not a competition! I often sit and watch senior fo’s raising eyebrows and tutting whilst a new CP is getting to grips with their new role. All I can say is, “we’ll see how you find it when it’s your turn” because there’s slightly more to it than just moving three feet left, and believe me, some of the fo’s whom I thought would make it..... didn’t. Tread carefully, it’s not a rite of passage.
