Mohaupt, I know you asked Stick for advice but I kinda joined in on some of his statements. So if I may clarify just on my points, and by no means answering for Stick. As far as I am concerned and I am sure MOST Captains at my airlines that I know of, we/I do not hold anything personal or profesionally against low time guys. As metioned times are tough and its just the way things are going for now. What we are seeing is the experience level really showing once they arrive to the Regional Jet. The fact of the matter is once you arrive online, we meaning Captains are finding ourselves giving flight instruction. Not to all but most. Understand that there is always a learning curve, however at this level the disparity is really great due to exp. This is expected from a low time guy or gal and no judgement is held against that pilot, it's the company creating this situation, and as Stick mentioned, at least at Comar its starting to show in the training dept. One issue which is ironic is the visual approaches as mentioned. At the larger airports, ala JFK ORD PHL etc, they usually baby us down providing vectors and altitude assignments which is no problem. The issue is visuals at smaller airports where you have to decide when to go down...
