How can the captain teach you how to fly if you have no experience?
The Captain is not seated on the left seat to teach the F/O how to fly. In a 2 man cockpit you need but brain working. It a 2 brain cockpit!

Starting your aviation career in the right seat is insane...
... and you skip the fun part of pilot training. I cannot imagine a 21 years old kid willing to do gear up and down for the rest of his career, also if on a nice and shine Boeing or Airbus.

Today we are talking about airline pilots with lots of experience handling the big jets (Airbus and Boeing) loosing their basic pilot skill and ... what's going on ... because the market dictate so, we are just putting on the right seat of a 737 or 320 a kid with zero experience, zero pilot skill, zero airmanship, zero situational awareness, but with a big bag full of daddy's money and a big attitude! And after an accident we are surprised do find out a pilot is not able to recover from a stall!
We need to do a big pull to cage and reset the entire airline pilots market world!
