I'm sorry that a dissenting opinion of what leadership and a Captain's responsibility is makes you feel victimized. I'm not bullying you. I'm clearly stating that most regional Captains are far more interested in "doing things my way because I'm in charge" or staring out the window types than actually mentoring or having any sort of meaningful interaction at all. Just so you don't closed-mindedly put me in one of your boxes, I've never once brought up my "upgrade" with a Captain. I don't talk about it at all. Nor do I tell him how great of a pilot I am. I sit quietly and share my opinions when asked and tells stories when inquired. I will say this though. I can count on my hands the number of times a Captain has consulted me when making a decision in a non-time critical moment. On the other hand, I have sat and listened quietly countless times while guys have stood on their soap box and pontificated about how great they are and how hard it is to be a Captain while simultaneously trying to blow an altitude restriction.
