But there is a common theme on this subject; FOs hired in the last year or so are the ones saying “help the guys, it’s not a big deal” and CAs are the ones saying “it gets tiresome.”

Easy to just say “help them out, it’s not a big deal,” but I know I sure feel like single pilot without backup more now than ever before, that usually isn’t a great thing in this profession. It isn’t they (new FOs) don’t want to help, 99% do, it’s they don’t have the foundation to be much of a help. I want to speak fluent French when I go to Europe, but 2 years in high school only gets me so far.

Again, the guys we hire have been very nice guys to work with; but man has it become a butt kicking dealing with NKs lack of everything out on the line, compounded by our new lessened hiring requirements.
