Interesting. Don't want to take new hire input. Very shallow thought process for somebody that's supposed to be a captain.

Many FOs have more experience and knowledge than you. It's all about accessing all knowledge available to create the safest flight possible.

UAL trains everybody as Capt, actual Capt has Capt authority but realizes the guy in the right seat is a valuable asset.

But your right. Haven't seen that here at CAL. More of a commuter operation verses a mature operation.
