You're going to realize when you're in the left seat that you did a lot of stuff as an FO that would annoy the sh*t out of you as a captain. Captains run their cockpit their own way- that's just how it is. Wait until you're a Captain before you start passing judgement on guys you fly with. Don't try to be the Captain until you are. Until then just try to help out and "assist the Captain" like your Operations Manual probably tells you to.
