They are almost always passive aggressive. They are usually the “mouth” during a briefing. They are concerned about the wrong stuff and try to bring up and argue minutiae.

When stuff goes really wrong they inevitably have one or all of typical age old excuses and it’s never their fault and they never take responsibility or ownership for their lack o skill.
These guys are not the typical rusty pilot who wants to brush up and get better. The pro bunky has perfected the bare minimum, acceptable standard, just skimming by lifestyle.
Not discounting what you say but the system allows it. In fact it is promoted by the fact that many bunky trips are more productive than the flying seat. Who wants to do a bunch of tag flying when you can just turn and go home.
