RJC,
Seems you confuse "Mentoring" with "Instruction"....and I take it from your comments you think a new copilot should silently admire your Monkey Skills and somehow soak up that ability vicariously.
Monkey skills come from hands on flying....or doing.....the other important part of the learning process is as you say....including the lesser experienced pilot in all phases of the business at hand.....in other words....being a Mentor.
Is not the old Master/Apprentice relationship what we are talking about here?
The skilled craftsman passing that skill down to a younger person?
How that gets done is the question.
I maintain Captains have an inherent responsibility to do so.......do you disagree?
Do you know Gann......I begin to think not?
