The extra guy is great help...From what I have read here several times, the captain sometimes tries to make statements by not allowing the FO to fly legs.

How do you think that most of us here aquired our hours? We flight instructed. We wouldn't know a thing about teaching Low-timer's how to fly now would we. Stop the B-itching. Heck, you put the auto-pilot on at 600' anyway, why not spend the down time teaching? Or would that cut into your nap time?

Anyway, we all start somewhere.
