I am sorry to say, the Captain's of the landing incident aircraft should be at fault, for allowing the situation to deteriorate to the extent there been incidents. Sure you have to be selective, in the sectors you delegate.
Any Captain, worth his/her salt should take responsibility. Or are they quite happy just to sit and watch it all go wrong? If a Captain is unable to take over at the appropriate time and blame the f/o for everything, should not be occupying the LHS! If the hat fits, wear it!
Oh I've flown with ropey f/o's alright. I was one myself. Instead of trying to put the skids under them I gave them as much flying as I could. My thinking was, could they get the thing down should I be incapacitated?
