Crikey, another one needs to chill out.... just relax I don't hate cadets.
I think 'in depth' would be pushing it, but yes I try and ascertain the experience of level of every pilot I fly with.
How else could I give a sector away ? - what's wrong with this approach ?
And no, the prior employment history of an FO should not change the outcome of a PIC's decision to go around or not.
I have found however that anybody with real world flying experience makes my job easier.
