Recently flew with a guy who freely admitted to being "as critical as possible" on his probation critiques. His reasoning was that, by being as critical as possible, he was giving the company the best opportunity to evaluate it's new hires.
Then again, he also felt the need to coach me through every descent and approach for 4 days despite the fact that I have twice the amount of time on the Mad-Dog that he does....
Hopefully there's a vetting process of some sort for these critiques.
