Ha Ha.... That's pretty funny. You haven't been an F.O. at a regional airline with captains that have been there WAAAYY too long. It's pretty interesting.

They'll be sure to teach you the good stuff. Like how to never give a PA. Or how "if it ain't clackin, you're slackin". My all time favorite is our thunderstorm technique. "Don't hesitate, penetrate". Or "maximum speed for minimum exposure". I hope you don't think I'm joking. The things that I see, just amaze me. And if someone has low time or they aren't all that assertive, im not sure they would take anything good from some of these guys. You would hear "well, I saw HIM do it".

I'd say the airplane is a bettor mentor than a lot of the Captains that don't want to be there any more.
