Is this not briefed prior? Do you really sit there in silence and what for your FO to realize something isn't right? Is it pleasurable to watch someone struggle? These are the kind of posts that really bother me about pilots. It seems like a "better than" mentality, and maybe I am reading it differently than intended. Whether it's a "FNG" or not, are we not all on the same team? I can tell you that I have never watched my captain miss something and sit there silently while they struggle and secretly think " let's see if he figures it out". I can assure you, captains miss things too. Come on guys!
