Devil Fed up with poor Captains

maybe it is time to talk about the guys in the Left hand seat...

Captains, if you don't like some First Officer's skills, teach them.
You should be sufficiently teached already to play the "boss", let us join in.

Captaincy is not only about flying-abilities, experience and airmanship, it is also being able to be a manager, team leader/player, representative of your aircraft's Country of registry AND being an Officer in general.
And that is where unfortunately some fail miserably. Probably not due to incompetence, but due to lack of training .

This is just a lighthearted post, and I don't mean to offend anyone, but please think about this.
This also goes for all First Officers as they are Captain "in-training".
