Thanks to all of you for your replies and insights. Another aspect I think we will have to address is the generational change taking place at our airline. All U.S based legacy carriers are hiring at a break neck pace after at least a decade of little or no hiring. How does a 55-60 year old Captain relate to a 30-35 year old co-pilot? Can he? How well was that handled in the past? I remember a few experiences as a new 727FE which were less than positive with an old 'crusty' Captain (ha-now I am that old crusty
)
Again thanks, I have found several other threads which will help as well.
