Another chuckle-worthy rule is the WX conditions (or airport specific) mandating "the CA must make the landing, no exceptions", and you've got a new CA with 100 hours in type being forced to take a landing from an FO with 7,000 hours and who has been to that airport hundreds of times.
In some parts of the world, the F/O flying with a captain with less than 1,000 in type as PIC is not allowed to touch the controls. Imagine being at a small base. Some F/O's don't touch the controls for 6 months at a time. Now that really sucks! 22 year F/O... holy $hit! That can't be great for one's ego. Damn... that really sucks. In many parts of the world a cadet finds their way into the left seat within 5 years after induction.
