Bubbers44 really like your reply, and yes that kind of captain will really help and encourage his f/o to be a good capt some day,when his time comes. If we as f/o s get a capt who lets us learn from our mistakes ans well as teach us and build our confidence we would really appreciate it us like others have said not all fingers are alike , and most of them aren't there to help u out, so for a new f/o u have to figure things out the hard way initially.
