With I-Ford on this one. When you get the left seat guys you will realise some of your FOs can be pedantic point-scoring pain in the ar***s as well! Every one needs treated differently. Some will bore you to tears with techno-discussion and exhaust you with questions, others are great company and good fun but dreadful pilots. Some are over-confident, resistant to advice and consequently downright dangerous since pride gets in the way.
Don't think it's an easier life in the left seat!
Merry Xmas to you all, and I hope you don't get crusty captains in 2005!
