Believe it or not when I was asked what makes a good FO my answer was "Someone that is willing to learn from every new experience." I live and fly that way. I can tell you how to fix most issues with a 1963 KC135R but couldn't tell you how to change your engine on a 95 Corolla.
I can tell you how to manage the geared engines of a Cessna 404/421 but can't tell you what to plan on for burn rates in a given PT6.
We all have more learning to do. All I was saying is that MOST flight instructors do not get the real world flying experience that ALL 135 [IFR] pilots get.
Dude.... LAYOFF the "I can fly better than" crap!!!! I bit of ego in a pilot is expected... more than that ....especially at your entry level will keep you unemployed. If you come across as a douche I don't give a crap if you can fly upside down under the Bay Bridge....you are most likely NOT going to get hired.
