I've been here for over eight years. In that time I've trained on almost every fleet we have and been based in four different bases. I can count on one hand the amount of captains I've had treat me like this is my "first flying job." Maybe it's you and your buddies?
By the way... Captains put up with a lot of garbage, too. I was jumpseating a couple months ago and the first officer was all over the captain about every little thing! That captain had the patience of a saint! The FO had only been here about a year. Very annoying.
