If you come with that, or act like a A hole, they will make it hard on you. Also it's true that they will look the other way now to help you get through if you show willingness to learn and be safe. If you know you're not thr best pilot, this is probably one of the best times in history for you to make it through training at an airline
I've heard from several captains this. Military guys seem to have the most trouble. It's their attitude and just how they learned and the tools they had flying is so different from us. Going from a high ranking officer to a first year first officer grunt just doesn't sit well with a lot of people and the crm concept is a lot different, many guys are used to flying and doing everything alone.
