One of the best pieces of new-hire advice I got..just because they're sitting in the captains' seat doesn't always mean they're smarter or better than you..they've just been here longer.
Not meant to be demeaning to the captain's authority, but I think we can all agree there's some out there that aren't the brightest crayons.
