But, there are times that I'm not going to let the FO take the leg. It's a pretty short list. If he's right out of the schoolhouse, I'll take the first leg. If it's a 900, I'm going to take it until I assess your flying skills. I have a healthy fear of tail strikes. I'd rather hurt your feelings than do a carpet dance over a tail strike. I'll make it up to you later in the trip.

I know landing in the same place is boring. I try to mix it up. I do try to make sure the landings are even.

For you FO's, I can't wait until you make Captain, you will discover that not all of the *******s are in the left seat. I'm just sorry I can't put them on a do not fly with list. Talk about a miserable trip.

Now, let's talk about this long sleeve shirt thing everyone's wrapped around. What is your problem? You need to let it go.
