I've heard of him and saw a news story on him quite some time back. Even more respect for spending that much time in that aircraft

2StgTurbine - can you share the backgrounds of each FO if you know?
I'll take a shot in the dark that you're second FO without knowledge of the VFR pattern entries was possibly a Mil only pilot. I remember that civilian VFR pattern entry/exit was never taught during my military training.

I agree with your "crux" of the argument too. There is hopefully always something the more experienced pilot can be handing down to the new FO (at least new to the operation/company/etc...)
