Whoaaaa, hold up. Congrats on saving the day, and “correcting” your FO there, Cappy. Hopefully YOU were professional and helped the guy out. Maybe he didnt know he made a mistake, you know, cuz mistakes are usually not intended.... Could be his first airline gig.... Maybe its you? Judging by your post, you sound like one of those guys who cant get enough of himself.... And maybe your FO just sucks. I dont know, I wasnt there. But at the end of the day, these habits are fixable. If someone isnt performing up to par, mentoring/educating them on the mistakes is the only way to improve them.

But have you seen some of these darling captains we have? I shouldnt have to be embarrassed walking around a terminal with Captain wearing clip on sunglasses indoors, a red suitcase, ripped pants, yellow shirt, and smells like he hasnt showered in a week.

Calling all FOs unprofessional is quite a broad stroke and completely false for 99% of us. I get it, some guys leave alot to be desired, however mentoring new guys is part of the job. Not everyone is straight out of the airforce academy. Calling half our seniority list abysmal, is ****ing ridiculous. Flying 1.5 pilot? Really? Sometimes I feel the same way about some of our Captains. VERY few of them, but not ALL of them. You dont see me calling everyone abysmal.
