Month after month I see the same senior guys sucking up primo GS’s then white slipping to the limit. Do you think any of those senior guys would hold off on picking up to the WS limit so more junior guys could get their first green?? It’s not going to happen. Seniority and the coverage ladder cuts both ways.
The Captain was entirely in line making the comment. An out of base FO has zero impact on an in base Captain. He was sharing a perspective the FO had not considered. Letting him know it was bad form to brag about his OOBWS, especially in front of an in base FO was a polite lesson in manners. He commented that other FOs besides yours truly may not be quite so accepting of his jubilance.
Draw yourself a picture of WS after a GS. I don't think it has the impact you are imply
