We have to remember that we are just PILOTS! What rank an airline gives us, makes no difference to the people we are. A t0sser in the left seat or right seat is still a t0sser. However pedanticism is in the eye of the beholder. I personally believe in SOPS. In my company I fly with someone new every week. However outside the scope of SOPS I believe that are many different ways of skinning a cat. Too many Captains like to influence the f/o in these areas. That I believe is what winds up most decent f/os.
