.Having experienced some of these guys I agree with 604guy. Personal and management skills are great in the bar, or for organising crew transport, but on a sh...y dark night when all is going to rats, experience counts big time
That is what the captain is for. His experience will serve to not get in the situation in the first place. When it is unavoidable, he can help out the f/o. And before all you guys say "ya but the f/o can do a better job if he is experienced" remember that there is always a first time for everything.
