This is why I tell people because it's not something that you would assume, nor do I remember ever being told, although it is in a company publication that we do have accees to, but wouldn't ever think to look it up. It may have been mentioned during new hire but that is basically drinking from a fire hose and I was a bit more concerned with my wife's brain surgery than I was random HR manuals during indoc.
It very well may have been presented/told but I had a lot of crap happen when I was in indoc.
I don't really see the problem with FO ACPs dealing with captains. The only difference between the two is luck of hire date. If it were a 2022 hire captain doing the managing instead of a 2004 hire FO, is that better?
