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.

[MENTION=45174]stillcantfly[/MENTION]-Being a new FO, I think I can speak to this. Nothing makes a trip go by slower than a disgruntled CA who really offers nothing in the way of mentorship other than why DAL sucks. Going from a single piston to a jet isn't just a hop skip and a jump and a lot of new guys are coming from a CFI background. Apologies if we aren't all Chuck Yeager on the stick right out of the school house. I don't think any of us are intentionally trying to make you shake your head. Instead of that, maybe offer up some advice, or lead by example? Most of us are trying to learn...
