Then maybe instead of shaking your head be a mentor and help them improve. Don't forget how much influence you have especially to new FO's. They watch CA's like Hawks so they can mimic your behavior. If you don't follow SOP and you sit in the left seat and ***** about the SSP then they are going to be irritable and break SOP just as much.
The best CA's I have flown with fly by the book, take their time, are inclusive, generate a atmosphere of teamwork and safety, and are sociable. I'm not asking you to change. I am asking you to take a long hard look at yourself before you start blaming everyone else.
