To those that fly for a living

[Si]

Hi,

I just wondered what the general feeling is amongst captains flying with those that are new to the job with low hours say around 250hrs.

Thanks

Merely a thought and probably at a tangent, but it happens a lot in the military!

Training is somewhat different, but in mil twin seat FJ, the ab-initio pilot doesn't have much more when he starts flying his Tornado.

The general feeling is probably along the lines of "that used to be me".

I agree. It all depends on the F/O's attitude. If (s)he's willing to learn, Great!!! If, however, (s)he all ready knows it all, or comes up with the ever popular "That's not how I was taught", well, it can turn into a long month, for both of us.

Good luck with your career, you're going to be fine.

Maybe thats another advantage of the older modular folk. Seen a bit of the world and understand the difference between the real world and the theory.

Nope although once after an out burst of sexest bollouxs one of my female friends attacked me with a mechanical hair plucker which wasn't pleasant.
