The 300 hour wonders have ABSOLUTELY NO real CRM experience. If you get/have your CFI, you'll learn the law of primacy, and come to realize that if a 300 hour pilot gets put into a despicable CRM situation...said 300 hour pilot will think that's the way things should be done/can be done/"i can get away with this if he can".

CFIng is a tool, because you ARE actually the PIC. Especially with new primary students. CRM should be developed there.

There is a fine line between a captain doing the right thing for his "almost upgrading FO" and a captain being disturbingly lazy. In the busy airspace that is the U.S. that basically brings a jet to single pilot ops...no excuse, and unacceptable in my book.
