When was the last time you did a CRM course?? Or would your answer be 'I don't need one'. So were you one of these lucky chaps who popped out of his mother's womb with 4000 hours in the cockpit!
(can't be that far off 9 months). I had a friend recently who somehow set his altimeter at the wrong setting. Thankfully the young lad with 300 hours said 'sorry Captain but i think there is something wrong!' - problem rectified! Your type would have allowed the Captain to take you to the scene of the crash thinking ' Well what do i know'!
