As a background most of the FO I fly with have between 6,000-8,000 hours of jet time, many were previously commanders flying RJs or turboprops and others still command “heavy” 4 engine military transports all over the world....We do not have any 250 hour pilots.
You lucky lucky bugger! Only rarely do I fly with experienced
FOs who've truly earned the right to sit in the RHS and know
fully what it is to be the SIC. Flying with those blokes makes
any trip a sheer pleasure.

The 250hr hotshots should be yanked out of the copilot seat
(where IMO they don't belong whatsoever) and spend a full
year with their butts confined to the jumpseat keeping their
mouths shut while observing how the professionals do it.
