F/O's
It is not just the hours that count but the attitude of the individual. There are people around that have decided that they have made it and now know it all. These people refuse to accept information or learn more from their peers. I find them in both seats in a 2 crew airplane.
What really get's me is that flying with the same F/O over 10 or so sectors this particular individual does not learn from his/her mistakes and repeat them on every flight, even when promted. This is in the "I've made it, I am flying jet's and I know it all" Category.
I have flown with low time F/O's and with guys that have had thousands of hours on the airplane. There is nothing that can replace experience, there are things that cannot be though on a ATPL course in Oxford, regardless what a low time pilot might think.
Just my 10 cents worth before I go and fly with one of the better F/O's I have ever had the privilege to fly with.
