I certainly didn't mean to imply that you are wrong, we simply differ in this one area. My perspective as an aircraft owner may well be quite different than yours, as a pilot.
We wanted the best that was available at the time we hired, and we wanted a flight deck crew of near equal skills who could interact well together. We were lucky to get the guys we have. I would never disparage a pilot's choice of copilot.
