"Quick" command....
Like some have suggested in the thread, a reality check might be useful for those who think they are in a situation where they can "demand " a command upgrade after their "long" two years experience in the right hand seat.
Command is not only about the tech proficiency they think their "grades" prove they have. Part of the equation is maturity, which by the way increase tech proficiency in many respects. How can a candidate for a position be so assertively judging himself suitable for the said position he has never been in ? Does he really think this is about a Base Captain being nice or not ? Does he genuinely believe such a decision of upgrading individuals to the Captain rank is a light responsibility to shoulder ? Does he think his 2 years experience as an FO grant him a view that equates that of a Base Captain on the matter ? Does he realise what such an agressive way of demanding command tells about his maturity for the job ? Has he ever heard about humility?
I don't expect you SAMCA to understand this post. The way of thinking you show proves objectively you are unable to at the moment. But I sincerely suggest you start digging in that direction.... 2 years... you haven't seen anything yet...
No hard feeling here.. Just a sincere suggestion... Humility and attitude are part of the required skills for this job
