Thank you "skies"
A little judicious reminder that we are supposed to encourage and explain, not treat with disdain. Experience is only gathered by...well...experiencing! (Sort of makes sense to me) If we treat these new pilots with respect and make an effort to treat them as a big part of the crew, they'll learn to sort out the good from the bad, and learn the techniques of daily line flying. To those who would not want to have a smart and efficient crewmember with them in the flight deck...back to charm school with you!
Seems like a lonely job with no one to talk to on those long crossings...
Cheers
