"Sharing" the decision making process is a joke of the first magnitude, there is one decision maker in every airplane. So for every "three stripe" snot nose out there there is a "geezer" carrying the heavy load. You ever wonder why those "army of one" "geezers" won't let you "share in the decision making process"?
Look in the mirror.
That is why you are a regional lifer. Even if you could get on with a major, no way you would be of any value to them, especially once relegated to the gear pulling inexperienced right seat you speak of. Plenty of old captains, especially old ones who aren't going anywhere and don't care anymore about their career or going to a better company, have tried to get me violated. And plenty of captains have asked me for my opinion on a situation before making the final decision. That's why there is a crew of two. The few old school types who think like you are on everyone's no fly list. I'm sure you are as well. You are a joke.
