Whilst we're at it how about getting the FO's to dress bare foot in animal skins, live in caves, use outside toilets and write on slates with chalk


As an ex FO my worst Capt was the Training Capt. Ex mil, been there, seen it, done it better than anybody else! He'd not even trust my guidance on taxyway routings and I had the most incidents of poor airmanship with him. He was no better with other Capts unless their resume was as experienced as his ( as if that woudl ever be possible!).CRM and common sense don't only come from aviation.
Different training Capt now. What did I learn most from the departed one???? How not to do it.
He made my life awkward for some time, but I always spoke out if I thought he was wrong in a professional and respectful manner. Hang in there new guys, many (me included) appreciate where the next generation have to come from.
