If you are going to call out pilots don't do so on a public forum. Talk to them in person or go to professional standards. The only new hires that "saved" an airline was the 570 (just ask them)...and yes I do wear an ALPA pin.
Im not afraid to speak up and I do talk to them in person. If they refuse to do the ETOPS checks that are required I do them after I show them the proper way to do it in the FM. It has caused some flight decks to be uncomfortable but I'm not going to wreck my 30 year career because you have seen it all and are "pacing" yourself from your 30 year career. Adapt or die isn't that Darwin? Maybe we should ask the flight engineer what he thinks.
