I am just saying, as one of the "new guys", if a captain just stopped and stared at me, it would make me feel like crap and not want to fly with them again...it would not be productive. Now, talking about experienced, but lazy FOs, which is what I believe you are referring to, I am on your side. Lazy is lazy, regardless of experience....and I don't like it either. So, I am sorry if my comments rubbed you the wrong way....I am not out to make enemies, even on an anonymous forum. We may be worlds apart in experience, but I don't think we are all that far apart in beliefs.
Thing is no one should have to care about your feelings. This is a big boy job. We all are expected to be professionals. I’m not out to make you feel good about yourself or care if you want to fly with me again.
