I'd rather instruct my whole career than sit on the right of someone like you...

I'm sure you're an awesome pilot and hopefully you're not as much of a jerk as you come off as, but perhaps you should read the rest of my above post.
You started this all off by your post above. I did not see any respect from you about someone sharing what he went through "in his day" so I responded to you. If you think I was being a jerk to you I am sorry! I have nothing against a young low time pilot and wish you all luck. However, please have some understanding that the capts you may fly with in the future have experiences you have not had yet and learn from them. I sure do everytime I fly. Alot of low timers have the attitude of knowing it all by time they come to fly for a regional. To me your posts come off that way and hope I am wrong? BTW I am not an awesome pilot, just a pilot trying to learn everyday to have a good well rounded experience base to to pull from.
