Wow, cheetah, you really seem to take it out on the copilots.
I have the good fortune to fly with mostly great copilots, who act professionally and who would be more than capable to become Captains. I feel very comfortable when I'm in the bunk, knowing that the aircraft is in their capable hands.
It would almost seem that somebody else's ego is self inflated, thinking that the responsibilities of the Commander are beyond the capabilities of mere copilots..
I hope to retire at 59, allowing others after me to get a shot at something approaching my lucky career.
