How about mentioning all those times when the FO did a bang up job of getting the ac on the ground. Some people are just not meant to be in the cockpit.. it could be an 'experienced' FO as well as a so called type rated expat.
Painting a whole category of pilots which such a broad stroke doesn't validate your anecdotes in any shape or form.
Maybe you're not a TRI/TRE... but don't you think a little advice and instructing would've helped the bloke do a half decent job the next time you guys fly together?
I pick the brains of my captains local and expat sometimes to their annoyance. But almost never has a captain not availed of an opportunity to train or coach me to do a better job next time. The only one time that happened was with a curt I'll do my job.. you do yours... and that was from an expat. Based on that anecdote I can easily conclude that all expats are tightwads who are here to make sure the other guy never learns.
