I wouldn't want to be in a position as Captain where I had to "keep an eye" on the FO's all the time.

How about the FOs who have to watch their captains - happens more often than not. Just because you're in the left seat doesn't mean you're any good at what you're doing - fact.

Who are the customers that they are flying for?

Here's a question.............


Since these kids come out with a MD-90 type, would you put them in the left seat of your MD-90 right out of training?

Probably not.

But I bet if you let them, they'd jump in that left seat in a second!

Thats where the difference lies in training and experience.

Experience would dictate that you fly the right seat for awhile and get the experience of flying from Point A to Point B w/o the engine failing, electrical, hydraulic problem. We can train monkey's for that.

We can train monkeys to fly, but we can't teach them judgement.

how about that they are hiring these kids to be flight followers because FOCUS did not want to pay to hire Dispatchers....121 Supp says you only need flight followers.....
responsibility is on the Capt and Chief Pilot.....
