There is definatley an attitude problem with some new FO's who come from particular training establishments !! I believe some of these schools have part of their training programme dedicated to First Officer skills/teaching. Unfortunately this seems to bread a rather arrogant and pushy natured, wet behind the ears pilot. Some guys who get their first job straight onto a jet think that they are God's gift - well yeah, great well done on working hard and getting that first jet job but that is where the practical learning really starts.
The "I don't need a checklist I have memorised it !! " and fiddling with buttons before asking the skipper his opinion - ie safety related issues like the seat belt sign or just good manners of asking before changing the cockpit heat controls !!!!
This is the combination of qualities that causes the most upset !
