Why would 10 years and 4000 hours make this author "uniquely qualified"?

That's only unique in not flying all that much

That's quite a bit of FO time. Enough to qualify his opinions regarding the article. Maybe not enough to qualify for the majors though:crying: right??

Or just stay in the left seat until age 65.

I guess he's qualified- just not uniquely-
Thousands of us exceed that
I got 4000 hours in 6 years at SWA and just fly my line

At four different airlines, no less.

3. Don?t keep him in the loop. CRM (cockpit resource management) is not just three random letters from the alphabet. If your FO going to effectively back you up, he needs to know what?s going on. This includes planning items like changes to flight plans and weather forecasts as well as more basic things like announcing what switches you are flipping. Particularly if the captain is the nonflying pilot, it matters if you do something like switch the anti-ice on or off. Don?t just do things and expect your FO to automatically know what you?re doing and thinking.

Absolute Veritas, I tend to keep a laid back flight deck but I expect my FO to let me know when he changes something.
