They are too busy getting shot at where there is little to no infrastructure. And anyone who says they are "awful" has no concept of what they are capable of. If anything, most civilian captains I flew with were incompetent and some of the worst "leaders" I've ever seen. They can't express what they want so they just do it themselves. I'd be willing to bet that you think 25 hours of IOE is enough to cover all the bases of every situation you could experience and you shouldn't have to give tips or help out the FO after that because you "aren't getting paid to do that."

Most military pilots could fly circles around 10 year captains at the regionals.
