I agree. Most of the new hires I fly with on the Bus are decent. There’s only been one that was a half winger that needed some serious mentoring. I ended talking with Pro-Standards/his new hire mentor. Seems I wasn’t the only one to have issues with his attitude. (Former F9 CA).

One thing I see quite often is a blank stare from new FO’s is when I ask them about the flight plans/fuel. A good majority of them just say “my other CA’s just add 1000lbs” or they have no good reason to add fuel. That opens the door to mentoring and my thought process on adding fuel
