Well I didn't go to UND so I can't tell you about CRM 101.
That really is a personal attack because what you are saying includes me. It's like saying don't be offended when you are going to say something offensive. Out side of your opening sentence your entire paragraph was attacking me. Oh, but I guess you said it's not a personal attack.
If I was getting paid to give primary instruction I might be more incline to try to change some one's attitude. This is a job. Safe and legal is my foremost concern outside of that all I can do is tell what I have seen in the form of observations not personal attacks.
Yes the CA sets the tone, but if you are constantly reminding people to adhere to SOP you can only go so far. The fact that you have to remind them says alot. This only applies to a small percentage of FO's, but it does apply. Most do a great job and have a great attitude.

Maybe you're just an ******* that thinks your **** doesn't stink, just some food for though?
(see I said this isn't meant to be a personal attack........... catch my drift)
