You’re 100% right a CA has the right, the responsibility, to look at the FO and tell them to “do your job” if they aren’t doing your job. Hurt feeling? Who cares. FOs have No Fly Lists, have at it.
It’s very simple, show up prepared, done.
Exactly zero participation trophies. I am probably a lot older than you are assuming. I was given nothing in life and worked hard for everything....including my aviation career. If you'd like to have a conversation about what I've put into this, I am happy to do that with you. I may be relatively new the 121 world but I am not new at life. Not once did I claim that captains should be flight instructors, or hand holders. I expect everyone to do their job...I'm just not a d*ck about it. This attitude is the reason FOs have no fly lists. In my experience, people like that are disgruntled for other reasons....Legacy not calling? If you have a problem with the experience level your airline is hiring, move on.....simple as that.
