Kingairkiddo,
Good post.
I'll accept your deal providing you be nice to the old guy in the right seat and maybe swap walkarounds every couple of legs.
For what its worth, my original post was not directed at young pilots, but rather pilots of a different generation who were groomed with different expectations.
I flew with a guy for three days a few weeks ago who had his nose in the air. He constantly moaned and groaned and lamented that his vast experience hadnt led him to a more preferred path. If the way he spoke to me was indicative of the way he spoke to all of his F/Os, then it is a minor miracle that his name was not scribed on the bathroom wall.
I asked him how long he had been doing this, and what he had done before.
"I've been here three years," he responded, "and I was a flight instructor before this."
Certainly a respectable profession, but not an excuse for the attitude that he now carried. It wasnt his AGE that vexed me...it was his ATTITUDE.
