Sure.

But it goes both ways. There are horror stories from the new guys and horror stories flying with the experienced pilots.

If you're going to complain about the new guys unable to get procedures, I can throw just as many experienced guys doing the same thing.

Some can't stand it and willfully disobey and that is where pro stands come in. Others just can't get the hang of the new procedures and when I bring it up, they have a good attitude about it at the very least.

I have heard only stories about "the new guys". I have yet to fly with a captain that has actually flown with such a bad new hire. You don't know how many captains attitudes change when they learn my background and just assumed I was a newb with no experience.... As if my current gig was my first 121 job ever..... Heck had one treat me as if I was just off OE and first time operating out of ORD despite already telling him I was here for a year and approaching 550 hours in type and operated out of ORD plenty of times already. Sure a small amount still compared to their 20,000+ hours, but adjust your mentorship approach......

How much are these stories blown out of proportion and made into concern trolling about how the new guys are a safety risk? I don't doubt some are struggling, but how many are there? Are the strugglers being made into a confirmation bias about a persons already preconceived notion of the new guys and generalize the crap out of them?
