No, it's not enough....
Until you're an RJ Capt that gets to work with a 300 hour guy fresh out of IOE, you're not gonna get it. Until then, your whining about how unfair we all are that we don't accept this new paradigm shift with open arms is falling on deaf ears.
I understand this is just "how it is now", and I don't blame you for accepting the job. I'm glad it's not my problem. But I'll promise you the LAST thing I'm gonna do is shut up about it, accept it, and consider it the norm.
That there are a lot of "them" on the way is no reason to think "they" are a good thing.....
Weren't you fresh out of IOE once? Is it ok to whine about the low timers? It's not the norm? Denial is a powerful thing.
I can tell you this much, I have never heard my father ever complain about any first officer he has ever had. ever. And he never will, because everyday is a learning experience for both of them. He has taught me everything I know about aviation, the airlines and things that make a good pilot/captain. Bickering about a low timer in the right seat shows arrogance and an unwillingness to mentor someone who is in the same seat you once sat in. How can one become a good captain if he can't handle a new guy in the right seat from time to time?
